Still lots of insns could be simplified into less alternatives, when the attribs are identical of course. Doesn't that create smaller tables and use less memory to compile? > I think the NEON alternatives not only do not help at all, they actually > generate cause CQ to be far worse even when no NEON instructions are ever > generated. Yes. At least when not fpu is available, there can't possibly be any benefit from these insns. Sure there will be cases when the fpu instructions can improve something, just not here.
