Note for self: there's theoritically support for a NT_GNU_HWCAP section (.note.gnu.hwcaps ELF section), but I don't think ld/as have any support for setting it in the binaries they output; in fact looking at SSE2 hwcap-selected binaries on my i386 system and at hwcap-selected binaries on my armel system, I couldn't find any such section in the ELF files. Despite this absence, "hwcap:" flags are computed by glibc on the basis of the pathname alone (e.g. /lib/vfp/foo.so => vfp hwcap).
That's why there's no need to patch the ELF parser to pickup NEON binaries for the above changes. -- NEON and THUMBEE hwcaps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343602 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
