We defined the following unordered BCD builtins in rs6000-builtin.def.
They check the bit 3 for overflow.
const signed int __builtin_bcdadd_ov_v1ti (vsq, vsq, const int<1>);
BCDADD_OV_V1TI bcdadd_unordered_v1ti {}
const signed int __builtin_bcdadd_ov_v16qi (vsc, vsc, const int<1>);
BCDADD_OV_V16QI bcdadd_unordered_v16qi {}
Also Xlc defines three BCD builtins for overflow and invalid coding.
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/xl-c-and-cpp-linux/16.1.1?topic=functions-bcd-test-add-subtract-overflow
Shall GCC keep up with Xlc? Please advise.
Thanks
