Hi,
I have being trying to persuade gcc to generate the ldp instruction without success. I have tried many combinations, below is an example.
--- cut here --- #define LDP(x,y,p) { \ struct vec { long x, y; } data; \ data = *(struct vec *)p; p += 2; \ x = data.x; y = data.y; \ }
long testp(long *p) { long x, y; LDP(x, y, p); return x+y; } --- cut here ---
$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.9.1 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
$ gcc -S -O3 ldp.c $ cat ldp.s
.cpu generic+fp+simd .file "ldp.c" .text .align 2 .global testp .type testp, %function testp: ldr x1, [x0,8] ;; why not ldp????? ldr x0, [x0] add x0, x1, x0 ret .size testp, .-testp .ident "GCC: (GNU) 4.9.1"
What can I do do make it generate ldp?
Ed.
It does but not in GCC 4.9. It was added for GCC 5.
Thanks, Andrew Pinski

It is also planned to include this feature in Linaro GCC in the 2015.03 release.
