Hi! gcc says: cr7, cr6 (not saved or special) cr1 (not saved, but used for FP operations) cr0 (not saved, but used for arithmetic operations) cr4, cr3, cr2 (saved) ... cr5, r1, r2, ap, xer (fixed) But apparently some *lround* routines set cr[34] registers, which are call-saved. This causes e.g. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/450790 From the above I believe using cr1 and cr7 instead of cr3 and cr4 should be ok (though the patch is untested). 2008-06-12 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_llround.S (__llround): Avoid using cr[34] registers. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_llroundf.S (__llroundf): Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/fpu/s_llround.S (__llround): Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/s_lround.S (__lround): Avoid using cr3 register. --- libc/sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_llround.S.jj 2008-04-17 10:32:49.000000000 +0200 +++ libc/sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_llround.S 2008-06-12 20:53:40.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ /* llround function.
