Subject: Fix altivec vector return location
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 17:18:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <je4pomo280.fsf@sykes.suse.de> (raw)
powerpc-linux is not using -mabi=altivec by default, thus vector types are
returned in general registers instead of altivec registers.
Andreas.

* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_return_value): Vectors are returned
in general registers.
