[Bug target/56025] ARM NEON polynomial types have broken overload resolution
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56025 --- Comment #5 from Tejas Belagod belagod at gcc dot gnu.org --- ACLE states that poly8_t and poly16_t are defined as unsigned integer types. It is unspecified whether these are the same type as uint8_t and uint16_t for overloading and mangling purposes Presently, poly types are implemented as distinct types in the ARM backend with default mangling which is wrong. This obviates the need for their own mangling scheme in the ABI which it does not specify. Therefore, it cannot be modelled as a distinct type until the ABI says that it is a distinct type. Also, poly8_t and poly16_t are presently modelled as signed types which is incorrect. When we change this to an unsigned type, it will be incompatible with legacy anyway wrt mangling among other things. So, till the time the ABI decides to make poly types as distinct types, we can model it as an unsigned type or as another type name for uint8_t or uint16_t. This will disallow overloading of uint8_t and poly8_t for eg and break current overloads, but correcting poly to unsigned type is a greater good. This is also future-proof because if the ABI decides to model poly and unsigned types as distinct types, previously disallowed overloading will then be allowed which isn't breaking legacy in the broad sense.

Essentially, GCC has semi-special builtin types to cover poly8_t and poly16_t defined in arm_neon.h. These types are used by G++ when calculating the overload resolution. The following two functions can both be defined with no issues in the front-end: #include arm_neon.h void foo(short s) {} void foo(__builtin_neon_poly16 s) {} However, in the resulting assembly they are both mangled as _Z3foos, which causes a conflict. This mangling area is likely to be affected by any change fixing 56024, so a sensible combined solution might be a good idea. This should now be fixed. Now mangled as _Z3foos and _Z3foo10__Poly16_t respectively. .cpu generic+fp+simd .file gpp.cpp .text .align 2 .p2align 3,,7 .global _Z3foos .type _Z3foos, %function _Z3foos: .LFB3026: .cfi_startproc ret .cfi_endproc .LFE3026: .size _Z3foos, .-_Z3foos .align 2 .p2align 3,,7 .global _Z3foo10__Poly16_t .type _Z3foo10__Poly16_t, %function _Z3foo10__Poly16_t: .LFB3027: .cfi_startproc ret .cfi_endproc .LFE3027: .size _Z3foo10__Poly16_t, .-_Z3foo10__Poly16_t .ident GCC: (unknown) 5.0.0 20141229 (experimental) Sorry, wrong target. Still doesn't seem to be fixed for aarch32.
