[llvm-dev] Failed PPC64 compile when using Power7 loads and stores?

[Jinsong Ji via llvm-dev]

Looks like to me that your clang is too old.

  clang version 3.8.0-2ubuntu4 (tags/RELEASE_380/final)

clang 3.8.0 was released on 08 Mar 2016.

While vec_xl was added in https://reviews.llvm.org/rL286455 onNov 11 2016,
which is around half an year later then 3.8.0.

Can you please try using newer clang.


Best,

Hi Everyone,

I'm having trouble figuring out a compile failure on ppc64le. The
failure is at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__travis-2Dci.org_noloader_cryptopp-2Dautotools_jobs_602187190&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=DvnnfavFQBGT2CDyHzTr_Q&m=LV-QC2ULb1l_TJNYncN26RBH_VkkgB6tcuocCCH4A3c&s=dBo7cPVsSszL2_MFYtvZssY5WX73ptFjjXwiV65rLOs&e=

. The message is:

/bin/bash ./libtool  --tag=CXX   --mode=compile clang++
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.    -DCRYPTOPP_DISABLE_POWER8  -pipe -mcpu=power7
-mvsx -maltivec -g -O2 -MT libppc_power7_la-ppc_power7.lo -MD -MP -MF

            vec_xst(vec_xl(0, (__vector unsigned int*)(b1+3)), 0, (__vec...

The source file includes <altivec.h>. The source file is compiled with
-mcpu=power7 -mvsx -maltivec.

==========

Here is the source code of interest:

// POWER7 added unaligned loads and store operations
byte b1[19] = {255, 255, 255, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}, b2[17];

#if defined(_ARCH_PWR7) && defined(__xlC__)
    // Workaround XL C++
    vec_xst(vec_xl(0, (unsigned int*)(b1+3)), 0, (unsigned int*)(b2+1));
#elif defined(_ARCH_PWR7)
    vec_xst(vec_xl(0, (__vector unsigned int*)(b1+3)), 0, (__vector
unsigned int*)(b2+1));
#else
    std::memset(b2, 0x00, sizeof(b2));
#endif

result = (0 == std::memcmp(b1+3, b2+1, 16));

Why is the file failing to compile?

==========

Here are some details of the host:

  Operating System Details
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
  Release: 16.04
  Codename: xenial
  ...
  OS/Arch:           linux/ppc64le
  clang version 3.8.0-2ubuntu4 (tags/RELEASE_380/final)

==========

Compile is OK on my old PowerMac G5, GCC112 and GCC119 from the
compile farm. Unfortunately, the compile farm only tests GCC and XLC.
The Clang compiler does not work.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff
