--- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- >Inline ASM is not ideal since dfp classification instructions targets CRs. If the PowerPC had the "Flag Output" inline-asm extension like x86 has: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.2.0/gcc/Extended-Asm.html#Flag-Output-Operands Then you could express it using inline-asm without any issues.
