--- Comment #11 from Kewen Lin <linkw at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
In gcc, lfiwzx is guarded with TARGET_LFIWZX => TARGET_POPCNTD (ISA2.06), while
-mvsx will guarantee TARGET_POPCNTD (ISA_2_6_MASKS_SERVER) set, so it considers
lfiwzx is supported. IMHO the underlying philosophy is that having the
capability of vsx the supported ISA level is at least 2.06, lfiwzx is supported
from 2.06, so it's supported.
But binutils seems not to follow it:
{"xvadddp", XX3(60,96), XX3_MASK, PPCVSX, PPCVLE, {XT6,
XA6, XB6}},
{"lfiwzx", X(31,887), X_MASK, POWER7|PPCA2, 0, {FRT,
RA0, RB}},
Both are guarded with different masks and apparently PPCVSX doesn't enable
POWER7.
Hi Alan and Peter,
I wonder if assembler can enable POWER7 when PPCVSX gets enabled like what gcc
adopts now?
