Subject: Setting a 128 bit value of the vector register
Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2007 13:46:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7aa837f80711060545r6f5ba5f5od2370a92c706806b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I tried setting the vector register on ppc to a 128 hex number but the
gdb gave me an
"Numeric constant too large".
(gdb) info reg vr1
vr1 {uint128 = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000, v4_float = {
0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v4_int32 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v8_int16 = {0x0,
0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v16_int8 = {0x0 <repeats 16 times>}}
(gdb) set $vr0.uint128 = 0xfffffffffffffffff
Numeric constant too large.
I get identical problem when trying to write to an mmx register on
x86. It happens whenever the number is larger than 64bits
I know that I can brake the number in four peaces up and use
".v4_int32" to accomplish the same goal. I am just wondering if this
is a bug or a "feature".
