Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • Assembly requires VMX register(vs38).
    
    Compiler adds a store to stack of vs4 and loads the same value
    into vs38. This store/load could replaced by a xxlor
    instruction for performance. Same after the inline assembly.
    The compiler store vs38 and loads it to vs3.
    
    For inline assembly, instruction xxlandc could fill a VMX
    register (vs38) directly.
    

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    Users who use VMX functions are affected by this issue.
    
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The compiler was generating inefficient store/load code for VMX
    code.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler has been fixed to generate better store/load
    sequences for VMX related functions.
    

Temporary fix
