Elena -- where is altivec.h?

[Michael Snyder]

Hi, 

gdb.arch refers to this file, but I can't find it.

It's in gcc/config/rs6000 I think. If not it's somewhere close to that.
It's in gcc definitely.

It's installed by gcc.

MichaelS reminded me (private e-mail) that we cannot have gcc files
being required by the gdb tree. 
I guess we should make our own copy of altivec.h?

In case this is not obvious, the altivec C testsfiles (or any altivec
programs) need to include this <altivec.h> gcc file because it has
all the necessary #defines for vector types.

I could just add a copy to the gdb.arch directory. or include/gdb ?
What's the procedure here?

I don't think that's quite right.  <altivec.h> is an _installed_ gcc
file.  It goes into gcc-lib/.../include.

If the file is not found, we shouldn't be running the tests.

That was my thought originally. Unless there is a gcc with the right
bits the tests won't work anyway. But I thought I was missing
something in the bigger picture.

I get compilation errors, if I don't include the full altivec.h,
I'll leave it as it is now.

Yes, true. Long day, sorry.

No, I have found no problems with the tests. I was trying to address
MichaelS concerns.

Yes, actually I asked Aldy and that is what he suggested doing, just put the
necessary #define (just one) in the .c files. I'll do that.

include/gdb is for building gcc and gdb, not for building target
programs.  Consider a cross-compiler + cross-debugger + simulator:
host=i686-pc-linux-gnu, target=rs6000-unknown-whatever.  So that
directory is right out.

gcc should be installing altivec.h with the other target include files.
AldyH would know about that.

Perhaps you are testing out of a build directory, rather than an install
directory, and the dejagnu machinery is not producing enough -I flags?
(I am studying this area right now because I'm working on Petr's
f77/f95 patch).

Suggestion:

I did a find in the gcc source:

  % find * -name '*altivec*' -print
  gcc/config/rs6000/altivec.h
  gcc/config/rs6000/altivec-defs.h
  gcc/config/rs6000/eabialtivec.h
  gcc/config/rs6000/linuxaltivec.h
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/altivec-1.c
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/altivec-2.c
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/altivec-3.c
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/altivec-4.c
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/altivec-5.c
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/altivec-7.c
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/altivec-8.c

Most of the altivec-*.c test files do not use altivec.h.  They simply
use builtin keywords directly.  Have a look at altivec-4.c. 
You could write the tests like that.
