[cfe-dev] PATCH: clang/LLVM - Sparc - inline ASM with floating pointer registers

[Patrick Boettcher via cfe-dev]

Hi lists,

Sorry for cross-posting, but these two patches are of concern to clang
and llvm.

I'm compiling C-code which includes inline assembler which looks like
the following using the sparc-target:

static inline float fabsf(float a)
{
  float res;
  __asm __volatile__("fabss  %1, %0;"
                     : "=f"(res)
                     : "f"(a));
  return res;
}

This fails with llvm/clang - trunk/master.

I patched clang and llvm and, as I'm new to both project, I'm having
doubts that it is enough - however it works.

What would be necessary to have it included in both projects?
Is my code correct for what I want to do?
What would have been a more appropriate process to submit?

best regards,
--
Patrick.
