Description Hakon Bugge 2005-10-31 12:05:40 EST 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Opera/8.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)

Description of problem:
Using (or attempting to use) vector instructions generates incorrect code on 
ia64. In the sample program, every second element of the sum misses one of the 
operands.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc version 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.1)  

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.gcc -O1 gcc_vector_ia64_bug.c
2../a.out
3.
  

Actual Results:  testing scalar version
testing vector version

dst[ 13] a: 13.260000 e: 26.389999
dst[ 15] a: 15.300000 e: 30.450001


Expected Results:  testing scalar version

Patch that fixes the bug

The bug is in the way we open-code the vector addition.  When we see code such
as:

tmp0 += some_vector;

we emit code that writes to the first element of tmp0 with a subreg.  Since on
IA64 two floats fit in a word, the subreg has the effect of clobbering the
second element of the vector.  Oops.

The attached patch makes sure we do not use such a subreg as the output of the
open-coded instruction if the output matches any of the inputs.

This code is not present in mainline any more, as the open-coding was all moved
to the tree level, so this patch is not going upstream unless people tell me
it's a good idea to get it into upstream 3.4 or so.

This issue is on Red Hat Engineering's list of planned work items 
for the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4 release.  Engineering 
resources have been assigned and barring unforeseen circumstances, Red 
Hat intends to include this item in the 4.4 release.
