orc_m4_host_defines_for_ppc64le.patch (724 bytes, patch)
2015-03-02 11:17 UTC, Michel Normand 		none Details | Review

Description Michel Normand 2015-03-02 09:52:00 UTC 
with orc 0.4.22 the make check is failing
===
FAIL: test-limits
===

investigation identified two related required changes:
* m4/as-host-defines.m4
  to define HAVE_POWERPC for ppc64le.
* orc/orcprogram-altivec.c
  to add support of ppc64le (that is PowerPC ABI V2)
  at least epilog/prolog differs, but need to check all file.

Thanks for the bug report. Do you plan on working on this?

not in a short term.
* I have an obvious orc_m4_host_defines_for_ppc64le.patch in attachment for the 1st problem (m4/as-host-defines.m4)
* But the real work is in the changes required for orc/orcprogram-altivec.c
  and I did not worked on it.
