AArch64 NEON polynomial types

by Renato Golin Linaro

Hi folks, On the LLVM list, Tim (ARM) is trying to push a patch to update the polynomial types on NEON to unsigned, on both 32-bits and 64-bits, since AArch32 says nothing and AArch64 specifies unsigned (char and short). Is there any such movement on the GCC end? The LLVM folks would rather this be a common move (or GCC first), than going solo and risk losing ABI compatibility. Any comments? cheers, --renato

Linking error - VFP register arguments

by Anup Kini

Hi All, I am trying to build OpenNI drivers and stuck with the following linker error. /usr/bin/ld: error: ../../Bin/Arm-Release/libOpenNI.so uses VFP register arguments, ./Arm-Release/XnBaseNode.o does not /usr/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file ./Arm-Release/XnBaseNode.o /usr/bin/ld: error: ../../Bin/Arm-Release/libOpenNI.so uses VFP register arguments, ./Arm-Release/XnDump.o does not /usr/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file ./Arm-Release/XnDump.o and many more of similar errors with VFP. System : ZYNC ZC702 board with ARM Cortex A9 dual core. OS: Linaro 12.04 LTS GCC - 4.6.3 Is there some flag i have to set in the Makefile to correct the Hard/Soft float type ? How do i figure out the correct one ? -- *Anup Kini *Systems Engineer**** * ------------------------------ * *Synapticon** * | Cyber-Physical System Solutions **** Direct:**** +49 7335 / 186 999 17**** Fax:**** +49 7335 / 186 999 1 **** **** synapticon.com <http://www.synapticon.com/> | @synapticon_co<https://twitter.com/#!/synapticon_co> **** Synapticon GmbH | Hohlbachweg 2 | 73344 Gruibingen, DE Secretary +49 7335 / 186 999 0 | General Manager: Nikolai Ensslen Registry Court Ulm HRB 725114 | USt-ID DE271647127**** This message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Possible toolchain bug with handling return value of read()

by Riku Voipio

Hi, The testcase at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/128616769/compare-test.c With aarch64: aarch64-oe-linux-gcc -o a-test ./compare-test.c ./a-test: fail ret: -1: Bad address With X86_64: gcc -o test ./compare-test.c ./test correct. ret: -1: Bad address setting -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 doesn't make a difference. This is with: gcc version 4.7.3 20121205 (prerelease) (Linaro GCC 4.7-2012.12) This was found while debugging: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-aarch64/+bug/1099896 Riku

[Activity] Week 02

by Zhenqiang Chen

Summary: * Rebase and test the shrink-wrap patches. * Learn how branch cost impact on code generation. Details: 1. Rebase and test the shrink-wrap patches. * For pretend arguments, it is hard to generate correct dwarf info for case: * Add dwarf info for ldrd_pop. Testing is ongoing. * Expose an interface from regcpprog and do copy propagation for the entry block. Benchmark logs show there are much more functions can be shrink-wrapped. 2. Read codes and enhance ifcvt.c. * For IF-THEN-ELSE, if the last insn of then_bb or else_bb is ANY_RETURN_P, we can save one JUMP. In this, we'd keep max MAX_CONDITIONAL_EXECUTE, not "max *= 2". A patch is sent out for review. * Take the branch probability into account. Test is ongoing. 3. R/M toolchain related work. Plan: * Follow up the shrink-wrap dwarf info issue. * Investigate benchmarks which is impacted by different branch cost. Planed leaves: * Feb. 9 - 15: Chinese Spring Festival. Best Regards! -Zhenqiang
