[PATCH] add predefined macros for thumbv8

[Weiming Zhao]

Hi Bernie,

Thanks for clarification. Now it makes more sense. :D
Attached is the patch. I also removed some spaces in two empty lines.

Thanks,
Weiming

Hi Weiming,

I agree with you about how the driver should behave.

I think the patch is nearly there, but I meant to add the thumbv* checks for
__thumb2__ rather than interwork. Doing these checks for interwork is
harmless but unnecessary, as 1136 will set this predefine. But you _do_ need
them to get thumb2 defined for -triple thumbv6t2 and -triple thumbv7. You
could get away with just using ArchName.endswith for this, as the relevant
code is already guarded by if(IsThumb).

It would be worth adding tests for those two cases as well, and for a
non-thumb2 case, i.e. something like:

%clang_cc1  -E -dM -ffreestanding -triple=thumbv5 < /dev/null | FileCheck
-check-prefix Thumbv5
// Thumbv5: #define __THUMB_INTERWORK__ 1
// Thumbv5-NOT: #define __thumb2__
%clang_cc1  -E -dM -ffreestanding -triple=thumbv6t2 < /dev/null | FileCheck
-check-prefix Thumbv6t2
// Thumbv6t2: #define __THUMB_INTERWORK__ 1
// Thumbv6t2: #define __thumb2__
%clang_cc1  -E -dM -ffreestanding -triple=thumbv7 < /dev/null | FileCheck
-check-prefix Thumbv7
// Thumbv7: #define __THUMB_INTERWORK__ 1
// Thumbv7: #define __thumb2__

Makes sense?

Regards,

Bernie
