Subscribe

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After inlining a function, the compiler is not taking advantage
    of the known return type from the inline function.  This can add
    unnecessary code when dealing with different data types.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The return type from certain inlined functions (for example,
    popcnt8, popcnt4, cntlz8, cntlz4) are restricted to 'int' but
    the compiler does not take advantage of this.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Affects only performance when using inlined functions that can
    be restricted to int.  Functionality is not affected.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Change made to allow the compiler to optimize without the (int)
    cast.
    

Temporary fix
