This set of patches from V6 got missed, and should go in ASAP. I am breaking the patches into 3 logical steps:
1) The V7 patches that were part of the V6 patches that have not been committed. There are 7 patches in the suite (6 to the compiler, 1 to the testsuite to enable finer granularity for running the 'future' tests).. 2) The V8 patches will be all of the tests that have been modified. There are 6 testsuite patches. 3) The V9 patches will be the implementation of PCREL_OPT, which has not been submitted yet. I acknowledge that there will be a larger patch after these to clean up the insn length issues, but none of these patches do anything but add a simple insn that may or may not be prefixed. I would prefer to get these out of the way first. I have built compilers with these patches, and they have bootstrapped on a little endian power8 system with no issue. There have been no regressions in the test suite. -- Michael Meissner, IBM IBM, M/S 2506R, 550 King Street, Littleton, MA 01460-6245, USA email: meiss...@linux.ibm.com, phone: +1 (978) 899-4797
