I can provide these, tough as for the copyright assignment, the document mentions I can declare the changes in public domain, and since I already published something (which may or may not be used by someone in the future), I hereby do so. > You should also be able to implement bswap16, and while we're here it probably > makes sense to implement an optimized bswap sequence for pre-v6 cores. > > Arm has rev constructs for 16 bit packed integers, however AFAIK gcc has no builtin for these yet, and without this, it won't internally have any use for this instruction pattern, correct? I only saw mentions to bswap32 and bswap64 on the documentation. I'll take a look on the optimized bswap32 sequences for previous cores and get these expanded when not optimizing for size, IIRC I saw similar patterns on some other architecture machine description. > Once all that is fixed, patches should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not > this list. > Roger that; Thanks. -- Alexandre
