Thanks for raising this concern.
The behavior to check about bif on FLOAT128_HW and emit an error
message for
requirements on quad-precision is added in gcc12. This is why gcc12
fails to
compile the case on -m32.
Before gcc12, altivec_resolve_overloaded_builtin will return the
overloaded
result directly, and does not check more about the result function.
Thanks for checking, I wonder which commit caused this behavior
change and what's
the underlying justification? I know there is one new bif handling
framework
Answered this question by myself with some diggings, test case
float128-cmp2-runnable.c started to fail from r12-5752-gd08236359eb229
which
exactly makes new bif framework start to take effect and the reason why
the
behavior changes is the condition change from **TARGET_P9_VECTOR** to
**TARGET_FLOAT128_HW**.
With r12-5751-gc9dd01314d8467 (still old bif framework):

framework.

Starting from r12-5752-gd08236359eb229, these
scalar_cmp_exp_qp_{gt,lt,eq,unordered}
bifs were put under stanza ieee128-hw, it makes ieee128-hw to have 17
bifs,
comparing to the previous, the extra four ones were exactly these
scalar_cmp_exp_qp_{gt,lt,eq,unordered}.
introduced in gcc12, not sure the checking condition was changed
together or by
a standalone commit. Anyway, apparently the conditions for the
support of these
bifs are different on gcc-11 and gcc-12, I wonder why it changed. As
mentioned
above, PR108758's c#1 said this case (bifs) work well on gcc-11, I
suspected the
condition change was an overkill, that's why I asked.
It almost certainly was an oversight. The new builtin framework
changed
so many things, there was bound to be some breakage to go with all the
good things it brought.
Yeah, as the above findings, also I found that
r12-3126-g2ed356a4c9af06 introduced
power9 related stanzas and r12-3167-g2f9489a1009d98 introduced
ieee128-hw stanza
including these four bifs, both of them don't have any notes on why we
would change
the condition for these scalar_cmp_exp_qp_{gt,lt,eq,unordered} from
power9-vector to
ieee128-hw, so I think it's just an oversight (ieee128-hw is an
overkill comparing
to power9-vector :)).
So what is the actual thing going wrong? QP insns work fine and are
valid on all systems and environments, BE or LE, 32-bit or 64-bit. Of
course you cannot use the "long double" type for those everywhere, but
that is a very different thing.
The actual thing going wrong is that: the test case
float128-cmp2-runnable.c
runs well on BE -m32 and -m64 with gcc-11, but meets failures on BE
-m32 with
latest gcc-12 and trunk during compilation, having the error messages
like:
gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/powerpc/float128-cmp2-runnable.c: In function
'main':
gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/powerpc/float128-cmp2-runnable.c:155:3: error:
'__builtin_vsx_scalar_cmp_exp_qp_eq' requires ISA 3.0 IEEE 128-bit
floating point
As scalar_cmp_exp_qp_{gt,lt,eq,unordered} requires condition
TARGET_FLOAT128_HW
now (since new bif framework took effect).
(To be more exact, it started to fail from r12-5752-gd08236359eb229).
IMHO, the apparent cause seems to be the wrong effective target
mismatching the
condition for those bifs, but the underlying cause is that new bif
framework
unexpectedly moved these four bifs from power9-vector to ieee128-hw.
