|
<p>You use these options to specify which instructions are available on the
|
||
|
|
processor you are using. The default value of these options is
|
||
|
|
determined when configuring GCC. Specifying the
|
||
|
|
<samp>-mcpu=<var>cpu_type</var></samp> overrides the specification of these
|
||
|
|
options. We recommend you use the <samp>-mcpu=<var>cpu_type</var></samp> option
|
||
|
|
rather than the options listed above.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Specifying <samp>-mpowerpc-gpopt</samp> allows
|
||
|
|
GCC to use the optional PowerPC architecture instructions in the
|
||
|
|
General Purpose group, including floating-point square root. Specifying
|
||
|
|
<samp>-mpowerpc-gfxopt</samp> allows GCC to
|
||
|
|
use the optional PowerPC architecture instructions in the Graphics
|
||
|
|
group, including floating-point select.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <samp>-mmfcrf</samp> option allows GCC to generate the move from
|
||
|
|
condition register field instruction implemented on the POWER4
|
||
|
|
processor and other processors that support the PowerPC V2.01
|
||
|
|
architecture.
|
||
|
|
The <samp>-mpopcntb</samp> option allows GCC to generate the popcount and
|
||
|
|
double-precision FP reciprocal estimate instruction implemented on the
|
||
|
|
POWER5 processor and other processors that support the PowerPC V2.02
|
||
|
|
architecture.
|
||
|
|
The <samp>-mpopcntd</samp> option allows GCC to generate the popcount
|
||
|
|
instruction implemented on the POWER7 processor and other processors
|
||
|
|
that support the PowerPC V2.06 architecture.
|
||
|
|
The <samp>-mfprnd</samp> option allows GCC to generate the FP round to
|
||
|
|
integer instructions implemented on the POWER5+ processor and other
|
||
|
|
processors that support the PowerPC V2.03 architecture.
|
||
|
|
The <samp>-mcmpb</samp> option allows GCC to generate the compare bytes
|
||
|
|
instruction implemented on the POWER6 processor and other processors
|
||
|
|
that support the PowerPC V2.05 architecture.
|
||
|
|
The <samp>-mmfpgpr</samp> option allows GCC to generate the FP move to/from
|
||
|
|
general-purpose register instructions implemented on the POWER6X
|
||
|
|
processor and other processors that support the extended PowerPC V2.05
|
||
|
|
architecture.
|
||
|
|
The <samp>-mhard-dfp</samp> option allows GCC to generate the decimal
|
||
|
|
floating-point instructions implemented on some POWER processors.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <samp>-mpowerpc64</samp> option allows GCC to generate the additional
|
||
|
|
64-bit instructions that are found in the full PowerPC64 architecture
|
||
|
|
and to treat GPRs as 64-bit, doubleword quantities. GCC defaults to
|
||
|
|
<samp>-mno-powerpc64</samp>.

<p><samp>-mcpu=powerpc</samp>, <samp>-mcpu=powerpc64</samp>, and

|
||
|
|
architecture machine types, with an appropriate, generic processor

model assumed for scheduling purposes.
|

<p>The other options specify a specific processor. Code generated under

<p>The particular options set for any particular CPU varies between
|

|
|
compiler versions, depending on what setting seems to produce optimal
|
||
|
|
code for that CPU; it doesn’t necessarily reflect the actual hardware’s
|
||
|
|
capabilities. If you wish to set an individual option to a particular
|
||
|
|
value, you may specify it after the <samp>-mcpu</samp> option, like
|
||
|
|
<samp>-mcpu=970 -mno-altivec</samp>.
|

|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On AIX, the <samp>-maltivec</samp> and <samp>-mpowerpc64</samp> options are
|
||
|
|
not enabled or disabled by the <samp>-mcpu</samp> option at present because
|
||
|
|
AIX does not have full support for these options. You may still
|
||
|
|
enable or disable them individually if you’re sure it’ll work in your
|
||

|
environment.

|

default. In that case, GCC allocates at least one TOC entry for

|
each unique non-automatic variable reference in your program. GCC
|

|
also places floating-point constants in the TOC. However, only

16,384 entries are available in the TOC.

<p>If you receive a linker error message that saying you have overflowed

|
with the <samp>-mno-fp-in-toc</samp> and <samp>-mno-sum-in-toc</samp> options.
|
||
|
|
<samp>-mno-fp-in-toc</samp> prevents GCC from putting floating-point
|
||
|
|
constants in the TOC and <samp>-mno-sum-in-toc</samp> forces GCC to
|
||
|
|
generate code to calculate the sum of an address and a constant at
|
||
|
|
run time instead of putting that sum into the TOC. You may specify one
|
||
|
|
or both of these options. Each causes GCC to produce very slightly
|
||
|
|
slower and larger code at the expense of conserving TOC space.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you still run out of space in the TOC even when you specify both of
|
||
|
|
these options, specify <samp>-mminimal-toc</samp> instead. This option causes
|
||
|
|
GCC to make only one TOC entry for every file. When you specify this
|
||
|
|
option, GCC produces code that is slower and larger but which
|
||
|
|
uses extremely little TOC space. You may wish to use this option
|
||
|
|
only on files that contain less frequently-executed code.

<p>Produce code that conforms more closely to IBM XL compiler semantics

prototyped functions beyond the register save area (RSA) on the stack

in addition to argument FPRs. Do not assume that most significant

<p>The AIX calling convention was extended but not initially documented to

handle an obscure K&R C case of calling a function that takes the
|

|
|
address of its arguments with fewer arguments than declared. IBM XL
|
||
|
|
compilers access floating-point arguments that do not fit in the
|
||
|
|
RSA from the stack when a subroutine is compiled without
|
||
|
|
optimization. Because always storing floating-point arguments on the
|
||
|
|
stack is inefficient and rarely needed, this option is not enabled by
|
||
|
|
default and only is necessary when calling subroutines compiled by IBM
|
||
|
|
XL compilers without optimization.

</p>
|

|
|
<p>Some linkers are capable of detecting out-of-range calls and generating
|
||
|
|
glue code on the fly. On these systems, long calls are unnecessary and
|
||
|
|
generate slower code. As of this writing, the AIX linker can do this,
|
||
|
|
as can the GNU linker for PowerPC/64. It is planned to add this feature
|
||
|
|
to the GNU linker for 32-bit PowerPC systems as well.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On Darwin/PPC systems, <code>#pragma longcall</code> generates <code>jbsr
|
||
|
|
callee, L42</code>, plus a <em>branch island</em> (glue code). The two target
|
||
|
|
addresses represent the callee and the branch island. The
|
||
|
|
Darwin/PPC linker prefers the first address and generates a <code>bl
|
||
|
|
callee</code> if the PPC <code>bl</code> instruction reaches the callee directly;
|
||
|
|
otherwise, the linker generates <code>bl L42</code> to call the branch
|
||
|
|
island. The branch island is appended to the body of the
|
||
|
|
calling function; it computes the full 32-bit address of the callee
|
||
|
|
and jumps to it.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On Mach-O (Darwin) systems, this option directs the compiler emit to
|
||
|
|
the glue for every direct call, and the Darwin linker decides whether
|
||
|
|
to use or discard it.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the future, GCC may ignore all longcall specifications
|
||
|
|
when the linker is known to generate glue.
