GCC maintainers:
The following patch series removes duplicate built-ins. There are patches to
extend an existing overloaded built-in to cover additional input types. The
final patch removes built-ins to set and initialize vectors. The code
generated by these built-ins with the default optimization is efficient than
the code generated by using straight C code. The assembly code for the
built-in and straight C code is the same with -O3
optimizations. In this case, the built-ins are removed as they add no
additional value.
The patches have all been tested on Power 10 LE. The last patch was also
tested on Power 8 BE.
No regression tests were seen.
Please let me know if the patches are acceptable for mainline. Thanks.
Carl
