           Summary: [SH] Add support for mac.w / mac.l instructions
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: olegendo@gcc.gnu.org
                CC: chrbr@gcc.gnu.org
            Target: sh*-*-*


So far, GCC does not utilize the integer multiply-add instructions.
On SH1 only the mac.w instruction is supported.
On SH2 and above the mac.w and mac.l instructions are available.
