Hi Guys,
[I have been asked to look at this PR in the hopes that it can be
fixed soon and so no longer act as a blocker for the gcc 7 branch].
It seems to me that Richard's proposed patch does work:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-11/msg00909.html
The only problem is that the check_effective_target_vect_hw_misalign
proc is always returning 0 (or false) for ARM, even when unaligned
vectors are supported. This is why Richard's patch introduces a new
failure for the arm-* targets.
So what I would like to suggest is an extended patch (attached) which
also updates the check_effective_target_vect_hw_misalign proc to use
the check_effective_target_arm_vect_no_misalign proc. With this patch
applied not only does the gcc.dg/vect/vect-strided-a-u8-i2-gap.c test
for both big-endian and little-endian arm targets, but there is also a
significant reduction in the number of failures in the gcc.dg/vect
tests overall:
Little Endian ARM:
< # of expected passes 3275
< # of unexpected failures 63
< # of unexpected successes 125
< # of expected failures 123
< # of unsupported tests 153
---
> # of expected passes 3448
> # of unexpected failures 2
> # of unexpected successes 14
> # of expected failures 131
> # of unsupported tests 151
Big Endian ARM:
< # of expected passes 2995
< # of unexpected failures 269
< # of unexpected successes 21
< # of expected failures 128
---
> # of expected passes 3037
> # of unexpected failures 127
> # of unexpected successes 24
> # of expected failures 228
Which looks like a win to me. So - any objections to my applying this
patch and then closing the PR ?
Cheers
Nick

* lib/target-supports.exp (check_effective_target_vect_hw_misalign):
If the target is ARM return the result of the
check_effective_target_arm_vect_no_misalign proc.
* gcc.dg/vect/vect-strided-a-u8-i2-gap.c: If the target does not
support unaligned vectors then only expect one of the loops to be
unrolled.
