[Cbe-oss-dev] SPU-GCC optimzation problem

[Hiroyuki Machida]

Hi,

I got a problem with SPU-GCC in IBM Cell SDK 3.0.
I could not reproduce this with SPU-GCC in  older Cell
SDK 2.1 or 2.0. I attached details, below.

* Summary

  The spu-gcc generates incorrect code for spu_rlmaskqwbyte intrinsic
  when:

  -- compiled with "-O1" or higher optimization level and

  -- the second argument is a constant (immediate) value and

  -- 1 <= (the second argument) mod 32 <= 16

* Version

  IBM Cell SDK 3.0 spu-gcc, spu-g++

  IBM Cell SDK 2.1 or earlier don't have this problem.

* Sample code

---
#include <spu_intrinsics.h>

vector unsigned int source = { 0x11111111, 0x22222222, 0x33333333,
0x44444444, };

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  vector unsigned int result;

  result = spu_rlmaskqwbyte(source, -17);

  /* all elements should be zero. */
  printf("0x%08x 0x%08x 0x%08x 0x%08x, \n",
spu_extract(result, 0),
spu_extract(result, 1),
spu_extract(result, 2),
spu_extract(result, 3));

  return 0;
}
---

* Additional information

  It seems that when optimization is enabled, the second argument is
  normalized into -15 to 0.
