Bug #: 51702
Summary: Several of the vector tests in gcc.dg fail on
powerpc-linux in 32-bit mode
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: testsuite
AssignedTo: meissner@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: meissner@gcc.gnu.org
Host: powerpc64-linux
Target: powerpc64-linux
Build: powerpc64-linux
Several of the tests in gcc.dg get an extra warning when run on 32-bit
powerpc-linux systems, which causes the test to fail. The cause is these tests
are testing the machine independent vector support, and the compiler issues a
warning message about passing vectors by value, because the Altivec ABI is not
enabled. Adding -mabi=altivec for the tests, enables them to pass.
