The power7 stuff should be fairly stable at this point, and I feel it is time to submit it to the mainline GCC. If other powerpc users can try out the branch to see if there are regressions, it would be helpful.
Note with the recent gimple type validation errors, the mainline now has more failures than it had previously, so be sure to compare it to the mainline branch of the same vintage (the branch is currently syned to svn version 147021). I have fixed some of the vectorizer failures in this branch, but there are still failures for both mainline and this branch. In particular, I would like to know if I caused any regressions in the embedded powerpc (spe, e500, etc.). Some of the E500/SPE stuff would fit in with the abstractions I put in for distinguishing between altivec and vsx. The branch is at: svn+ssh://@gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/ibm/power7-meissner Thanks in advance. -- Michael Meissner, IBM 4 Technology Place Drive, MS 2203A, Westford, MA, 01886, USA meiss...@linux.vnet.ibm.com
