[flang-dev] Usage of vector pgmath symbols in Flang

[Kiran Chandramohan via flang-dev]

Hello Varun,

Thanks for confirming that flang generates only calls to scalar routines and these are later converted to vector calls by changes in LLVM.

When you say vector routines are present in the Flang libraries, I am assuming that you meant to say the vector routines are present in the libpgmath library. My other question was whether there are calls to vector pgmath routines in libflang/libflangrti.

Hi Kiran,

Vector pgmath routines are present in the Flang libraries, however the Flang front end only generates scalar pgmath calls.

The LLVM vectorizer has been modified to recognize scalar pgmath calls and generate appropriate vector calls. Here’s the PR that introduced this change if you’re interested:

Hi,

Are vector pgmath symbols called directly in Flang? Are they directly used in the Flang libraries?



As far as I understand it is scalar pgmath symbols that are always generated by Flang and these are then converted to vector symbols by veclib in LLVM.

Thanks,
Kiran
