GCC maintianers: Version 2. Both patches have been updated the first patch was approved with minor issues to be fixed. I will post the updated version as version 2 for completeness of the series. There were a few changes with the second patch as well. The second patch has not been approved yet. The updated version of the second patch is version 5 with the requested changes made. The two patches were tested together on Power 8 LE/BE, Power 9 LE/BE and Power 10 LE with no regressions.
In the process of fixing the powerpc/vec-replace-word-runnable.c test I found there is an existing issue with function find_instance in rs6000- c.cc. Per the review comments from Kewen in https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-July/624401.html The fix for function find_instance was put into a separate patch followed by a patch for the vec-replace-word-runnable.c test fixes. The two patches have been tested on Power 10 LE with no regression failures. Carl
