Hi All,
The following patch has been tested on powerpc64le-linux and verified it's
fixed.
Changes from V1:
Added the reason for adding the flag(-fno-ipa-icf) inside the test case.
The test vsx-builtin-7.c failed on powerpc64le-linux due to Identical
Code Folding (ICF) merging the functions insert_di_0_v2 and insert_di_0.
This behavior was introduced by commit r15-7961-gdc47161c1f32c3, which
enhanced alias analysis in ao_compare::compare_ao_refs, enabling the
compiler to identify and optimize structurally identical functions. As a
result, the compiler replaced insert_di_0_v2 with a tail call to
insert_di_0, altering the expected test behavior.
This patch adds -fno-ipa-icf to the test's dg-options to disable ICF,
avoiding function merging and ensuring the test executes correctly.
