Bug ID: 84144
Summary: SSE-style intrinsics for loongson?
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: arthur200126 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
On MIPS systems, Firefox seem to be able to build only under loongson with the
community/vendor-modified gcc 5.5.0 as only that gcc implements SSE-style
intrinsics required by Firefox with loongson's many vector extensions. Commit
c5002cd[0], authored by ZhouXiaoyong <zhouxiaoy...@loongson.cn>, on their tree
contains the mock-mmintrin.h additions to loongson.h.

I am not sure whether I should request GCC to try to introduce those changes as
mixing up architectures is usually a bad idea. On the other hand doing so does
seem to improve software support for loongson...
