Subject: [PATCH] arm64: support __int128 on gcc 5+
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2017 12:43:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171031114319.24436-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAHmME9pE+G0V-nyKchQyG03YXbPjGykL1xX0M8E544Rh7QrgOQ@mail.gmail.com>

Versions of gcc prior to gcc 5 emitted a __multi3 function call when
dealing with TI types, resulting in failures when trying to link to
libgcc, and more generally, horrible performance. However, since gcc 5,
the compiler supports actually emitting fast instructions, which means
we can at long last enable this option and receive the speedups.

The gcc commit that added proper Aarch64 support is:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1ae7bb994f49316f6f63e6173f2931e837a351d

This commit appears to be part of the gcc 5 release.
