Cortex-A15 vfnma/vfnms test patch

Cortex-A15 vfnma/vfnms test patch

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 999 bytes --]

Dear All,

I am working on Cortex-A15 using latest GCC toolchain.
As we know that VFPv4 and SIMDv2 are the Cortex-A15 CPU Features,
so, compared to VFPv3/ SIMDv1, in VFPv4/SIMDv2 has following
additional instruction support
 * VFMA, VFMS - Fused multiply accumulate, Fused multiply subtract.
 * VFNMA, VFNMS - Fused multiply accumulate with negation, Fused
multiply subtract with negation.

To check whether these instructions are generated or not. I took  the
GCC-4.8  branch (snapshot) from FSF.

I noticed there are following testcases available for  VFMA, VFMS instructions
 * gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/neon-vfma-1.c
 * gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/neon-vfms-1.c

But for the VFNMA, VFNMS  instructions there are no test case
available. So I have created the patch to test these instruction.
Please find the attached patch

I have tested these instruction with GCC and these instructions are generated.
Please review and marge this test support patch in gcc main trunk.

Thank You,
Amol Pise

Given what stage we are in for trunk, I'm going to let the arm folks review this…  [ this is my form of a ping for you! ]

Thanks for this patch and sorry about the delay in getting around to this.

This is ok and I'll take this under the 10 line rule this time .

If you intend to continue to submit patches to gcc can I ask that you 
start the process for copyright assignments or confirm that you have a 
copyright assignment on file ?

http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal

If you don't, send an email to gcc@gcc.gnu.org with a request for 
copyright assignment papers and a maintainer will send you these.

http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html in general is a good summary of the 
process related to contributing patches to GCC in general . Please do 
read that and follow up on gcc@gcc.gnu.org if you have any more questions.

And finally don't forget to add a changelog to your patches as 
documented in links from the above mentioned page. Since this is your 
first time I've added the following Changelog entry for your patch and 
applied it.

regards
Ramana

There are no vector forms for the vfnma and vfnms instructions.

A co-worker (thanks Kyryll) just pointed out to me that I'd misread the 
ARM-ARM when I checked this and it looks like the test run I did had 
failed but it looks I looked I checked the wrong work area.

Looking at the output a bit more carefully now compared to what I did 
the other day I see only the scalar forms being generated.

Also the ARM-ARM specifies that these instructions only have the scalar 
forms (Section 8.8.318)

vfnm<>.f64 Dd, Dn, Dm
vfnm<>.f32 Sd, Sn, Sm

instructions.

I have now reverted this patch as obvious.

Sorry about the inconvenience caused.

Ramana
