Error description
Compiler is not using lfiwax/lfiwzx assembler instruction for int to double conversion. Consider the following testcase: $cat intToDbl.C /******************************/ double intToDbl(signed int *in) { return (double)(*in); } double intToDbl(signed int in) { return (double)(in); } double uintToDbl(unsigned int *in) { return (double)(*in); } double uintToDbl(unsigned int in) { return (double)(in); } /******************************/ Compile the source file as: xlC -c -q64 -qlist -O2 intToDbl.C -qarch=pwr7 Review output in intToDbl.lst file: ... ... | 000000 PDEF intToDbl(int *) | 000000 AKA intToDbl__FPi 3| PROC in,gr3 5| 000000 lwa E8030002 1 L4A gr0=(int)(gr3,0) 5| 000004 std F801FFF0 1 ST8 #MX_CONVF1_0(gr1,-16)=gr0 5| 000008 lfd C801FFF0 1 LFL vs0=#MX_CONVF1_0(gr1,-16) 5| 00000C xscvsxdd F02005E0 1 FCFID vs1=vs0,fcr Instead, the compiler should generate a lfiwax + xscvsxdd sequence: | 000000 PDEF intToDbl(int *) | 000000 AKA intToDbl__FPi 1| PROC in,gr3 3| 000000 lfiwax 7C001EAE 1 LFIWAX vs0=(int)(gr3,0) 3| 000004 xscvsxdd F02005E0 1 FCFID vs1=vs0,fcr
Local fix
Not applicable
Problem summary
compiler does not uses lfiwax/lfiwzx instructions for int to float conversion with -q64
Problem conclusion
Relaxing the opportunity check code to use new instruction with -q64
