As per Joseph's suggestion here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-05/msg00846.html
I am re-posting machine-independent parts of my ARM fixed-point support patches, with explanations as to why each part is necessary. This is the first: on ARM, TARGET_LIB_INT_CMP_BIASED is false for TARGET_BPABI targets (i.e. most currently-interesting cases -- EABI comparison helper functions return -1/0/1 for lt/eq/gt rather than 0/1/2). However the fixed-point helper library uses biased comparisons unconditionally. So, this patch just makes comparisons between fixed-point quantities use the biasing rather than not. (Grepping config/, in practice, this will only affect ARM.) Tested in a series with other fixed-point patches. OK to apply? Julian ChangeLog gcc/ * optabs.c (prepare_cmp_insn): Use correct biasing for fixed-point comparison helpers.
