[PATCH] D151312: [PowerPC][AIX] Enable quadword atomics by default for AIX

[Hubert Tong via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

hubert.reinterpretcast added inline comments.


================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCISelLowering.cpp:18411
 bool PPCTargetLowering::shouldInlineQuadwordAtomics() const {
-  // TODO: 16-byte atomic type support for AIX is in progress; we should be able
-  // to inline 16-byte atomic ops on AIX too in the future.
-  return Subtarget.isPPC64() &&
-         (EnableQuadwordAtomics || !Subtarget.getTargetTriple().isOSAIX()) &&
+  return Subtarget.isPPC64() && EnableQuadwordAtomics &&
          Subtarget.hasQuadwordAtomics();

I meant that perhaps the functionality should be left the same as before? Otherwise, the scope of the patch is bigger than necessary (and tests may need expansion).
