Ok, thanks for the review.
So it looks like I should bail with something like:
...
case VSX_BUILTIN_XVABSDP:
{
arg0 = gimple_call_arg (stmt, 0);
lhs = gimple_call_lhs (stmt);
if (TYPE_OVERFLOW_WRAPS(TREE_TYPE(arg1))
return false;
...
How can I test this scenario? At a glance, a testcase snippet doesn't
appear to error out. Am I quietly losing an overflow indicator?
vector signed int
test1_min (vector signed int x)
{
vector signed int y = {INT_MIN,INT_MIN,INT_MIN,INT_MIN};
return vec_abs (y);
}
generates gimple code:
y = { -2147483648, -2147483648, -2147483648, -2147483648 };
D.2579 = __builtin_altivec_abs_v4si (y);
or after folding:
y = { -2147483648, -2147483648, -2147483648, -2147483648 };
D.2579 = ABS_EXPR <y>;
