Hi there. We've been having a discussion in the Toolchain WG regarding Thumb-1 improvements. I want to decline doing them as I've assumed that Linaro is focused on the Cortex-A series, but I can't find that written down anywhere.
May I limit the Toolchain WG to currently or nearly shipping Cortex-A implementations? This means: * Cortex-A profile only * ARMv7 only * ARM and Thumb-2 instruction sets * With or without NEON * With either VFPv3 D16 or D32 * With or without SMP We will try to do no harm to other architectures or earlier ARM versions. The Thumb-2 routines may be applicable to the Cortex-M and Cortex-R series but we will not optimise for them. I'd like Linaro to state this explicitly in the next round. https://wiki.linaro.org/Linaro1011/TechnicalRequirements defines a 'Standard ARMv7 Configuration' but there's no higher level statement justifying it, no statement restricting us to it, and it includes ARM, Thumb-2, and Thumb-1. -- Michael _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
