The use of the vec_lvsl and vec_lvsr interfaces are discouraged for little endian targets since Power8 hardware is a minimum requirement, and Power8 provides reasonable performance for unaligned vector loads and stores. Up till now we have not provided "correct" (i.e., big- endian-compatible) code generation for these interfaces, as to do so produces poorly performing code. However, this has become the source of too many questions. With this patch, LLVM will now produce compatible code for these interfaces, but will also produce a deprecation warning message for PPC64LE when one of them is used. This should make the porting direction clearer to programmers. A similar patch has recently been committed to GCC. This patch includes a test for the warning message. There is a companion patch that adds two unit tests to projects/test-suite. llvm-svn: 219137 |
