Checklist
What is the purpose of this pull request?
What changes did you make?
On GCC 15 and later, fall back to inline assembly instead of using removed intrinsics
__builtin_vsx_xvcvsxwdp()
and__builtin_vsx_xvcvdpsxws()
.This PR works around the removal of PowerPC intrinsics
__builtin_vsx_xvcvsxwdp()
and__builtin_vsx_xvcvdpsxws()
in GCC 15.Does this PR relate to any existing issue?
Relates to/Fixes #611
Is there anything you would like reviewers to focus on?
Consider whether it would be better to replace
__builtin_vsx_xvcvsxwdp()
withvec_doublee
/vec_doubleo
as suggested in gcc-mirror/gcc@fd9fdb3, and to replace__builtin_vsx_xvcvdpsxws()
withvec_signede
/vec_signedo
as suggested in gcc-mirror/gcc@224cc56. As noted in #611, I’m not prepared to contribute that approach, but I would be happy to help test it.
