This RFC patch changes the type of predicates to bool. However, some of the targets (e.g. x86) use indirect functions to call the predicates, so without the local change, the build fails. Putting the patch through CI bots should weed out the problems, but I have no infrastructure to do it myself. 2021-06-30 Uroš Bizjak gcc/ * genpreds.c (write_predicate_subfunction): Change the type of written subfunction to bool.
