Hi Tim,

Did you verify this patch building all auto-generated headers?

I mean did you modify \tools\clang\lib\Headers\Makefile with rules to build 
arm_neon_sema.h (-gen-arm-neon-sema) and arm_neon_test.h (-gen-arm-neon-test), 
in addition to arm_neon.h?

Just to make sure no repeated definition happens in the tests.

The check for uniqueness came from the fact AArch64 redefines some ARM 
intrinsics (it adds new types to the original type strings), so they do not 
appear more than once in the test list (coming from AArch64 and ARM intrinsics 
definitions). This was needed for generating the builtins list and I think for 
the tests too..

Thanks,
Ana.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM & AArch64: merge the semantic checking of NEON intrinsics

Hi all,

There are two kinds of automatically generated tests for NEON intrinsics, both 
of which can be merged without adversely affecting users (I assert).

# We check that a valid kind of __builtin_neon_XYZ overload is requested (e.g. 
we're not asking for a float32x4_t version when it only accepts integers. Since 
the __builtin_neon_XYZ intrinsics should only be used in arm_neon.h, relaxing 
this test and permitting AArch64 types for AArch32 should not cause a problem. 
The extra arm_neon.h definitions should be #ifdefed out anyway so won't reach 
SemaChecking.
# We check that intrinsics which take immediates are actually given 
compile-time constants within range. Since all NEON intrinsics should be 
backwards compatible, these tests should be identical on AArch64 and AArch32 
anyway.

Does it look reasonable?

Cheers.

Tim.
