Then it may not work. A MIPS64 CPU requires properly sign-extended
32bit values. Host architectures can define either sign- or zero-
Extension for 32bit values in 64bit Registers.
Whether or not it works, GCC *WILL* optimize it away as a redundant
statement, if it deems so (i.e., if it's called with some flag that
enables cse/gcse and peephole optimizations, and the variable(s) in
question is(are) not declared volatile).
IMHO macros like these SHOULD stay, as they are mostly innocuous and
happen to document the target machine behaviour.
Cheers,
A.
