Bug #: 54408
Summary: sqrt for vector types
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: other
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: glisse@gcc.gnu.org
Hello,
it would be nice to add sqrt to the gcc vector extensions. There are already
target specific builtins, but a generic one would fit better (and get lowered
to elementwise sqrt when the target doesn't support vector sqrt). I don't know
if __builtin_sqrt should be extended, or maybe a different __builtin_vec_sqrt.
Component "other" because fixing this might involve front, middle and
back-ends.
