Activate Altivec "vector bool long long" for Power
ClosedPublic

Summary

This change activates "vector bool long long" (and alternate spellings) as a valid type for Altivec support for Power.

There are two test case updates for very basic testing. While I was editing cxx-altivec.cpp I also updated it to better match some other changes in altivec.c.

Note: "vector bool long" was not also added because its use is considered deprecated.

vector bool long long requires VSX, right? If so, we need to check for vsx support for it, and update the tests as appropriate.

Note: We have some vsx-predicated type checking here.

Agreed, please look at what was done for vector double in the code and the tests for examples.

I did not know about the VSX requirement and will update things accordingly.

Is there a list of stuff like that somewhere? I searched but did not find anything.

Actually, hm. POWER8 adds some instructions (like vpopcntd) that operate on v2i64 in the VMX registers. So really this will be somewhat dependent on Kit's current patch that enables that. All forms of vector long long should be enabled for VSX, as well as for Altivec + POWER8 (the Power8Altivec feature that Kit proposes).

Yes, P8 added doubleword variations for several of the VMX instructions. My fix enables the v2i64 type for the VMX registers, which will be a prereq for these new variations. When talking with Bill, these should NOT be coupled with VSX, so we need to add the v2i64 type to the VRRC in addition to it being in the VSRC.

I added the check for VSX support being enabled and adjusted the test cases accordingly.
