Subject: [patch 16/24] Immediate Values - Powerpc Optimization
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:54:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071221015727.640689028@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071221015438.433195466@polymtl.ca
[-- Attachment #1: immediate-values-powerpc-optimization.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3003 bytes --]
PowerPC optimization of the immediate values which uses a li instruction,
patched with an immediate value.
Changelog:
- Put imv_set and _imv_set in the architecture independent header.
- Pack the __imv section. Use smallest types required for size (char).
- Remove architecture specific update code : now handled by architecture
agnostic code.
- Use imv_* instead of immediate_*.
