This patch is the beginning step to switching the PowerPC long double support from IBM extended double to IEEE 128-bit floating point on PowerPC servers. It will be necessary to have this patch or a similar patch to allow the GLIBC team to begin their modifications in GLIBC 2.28, so that by the time GCC 9 comes out, we can decide to switch the default. It is likely, the default will only be switched on the 64-bit little endian PowerPC systems, when a distribution goes through a major level, such that they can contemplate major changes. If you do not use the configuration option --with-long-double-format=ieee or --with-long-double-format=ibm, the system will not build multilibs, and just build normal libraries with the default set to IBM extended double. If you do use either of the switches, and allow multilibs, it will build two sets of multilibs, one for -mabi=ieeelongdouble and one for -mabi=ibmlongdouble. Now, to build a compiler with multilibs, you need to do the following steps: 1) Install the IBM Advance Toolchain AT 11.0-2. 2) Clone the AT directory: # rsync -aH /opt/at11.0/ /opt/at11.0-ieee/ 3) Go into the new directory and add a symlink from lib64 to ieee64. Eventually once we have versions of the libraries compiled for -mabi=ieeelongdouble, these libraries and objects would go into the ieee64 directory. However, to do a build, you need the crt files in order to build the shared libraries. 4) Configure the compiler with these options: --with-long-double-128 # should be default --with-cpu=power8 # or power9 --with-long-double-format=ibm # specify long double format --enable-multilib # enable multilibs --with-system-libz # do not build our own libz --with-advance-toolchain=at11.0-ieee # use the special AT library # Use the AT library's includes --with-native-system-header-dir=/opt/at11.0-ieee/include --with-gnu-ld=/opt/at11.0-ieee/bin/ld # specify as/ld locations --with-gnu-as=/opt/at11.0-ieee/bin/as --with-ld=/opt/at11.0-ieee/bin/ld --with-as=/opt/at11.0-ieee/bin/as The libgcc changes were changes that show up when you build libgcc with the default set to IEEE 128-bit. There is a work around in rs6000-c.c to allow the AT 11.0-2 include files to be used as is. Otherwise, we need to modify /opt/at11.0/include/bits/floatn.h to specify the correct IEEE 128-bit complex type in C++ (C++ does not support the _Float128 keyword, and __float128 _Complex does not work, so we have to use the mode attribute to declare the type). When -mabi=ieeelongdouble is used, the default Float128 types are TFmode for scalar and TCmode for complex. With the default -mabi=ibmlongdouble is used, the default Float128 types are KFmode and KCmode. It is hoped that in AT 11.0-3, we can fix floatn.h to declare the appropriate type. I have built bootstrap builds on a little endian power8 system without using the --with-long-double-format switch and it runs the same as the unpatched compiler. I have also built bootstrap builds on a little endian power8 system with the switches listed above, and the tests for the default long double format are the same. Obviously, we can't run multilib make checks until the necessary work has been done in GLIBC. I will do a big endian build shortly to make sure it builds normally. What changes or additional tests do you feel I need to make before checking this into the trunk?
