Hi TC working group, May I ask what the following means?
“724987: discourage use of NEON on the A8”
Hi Yves. This is an optimisation that discourages GCC from using certain NEON instructions that are expensive on the A8 and better done through core registers. It doesn't discourage NEON in general, nor does it mean we have a policy of discouraging NEON on that core.
Hope that answers your question,
