Hello,
Has anybody here used the altivec compilers from the rpms found at the
altivec.org web site?
The vector types seem to be recognized but printf
only prints out the fmt of the printf statement. Based on the linker
cross reference output it looks like it's linking with the shared library
file /lib/libc.so.6. The rpms don't seem to have a an altivec aware
replacement libc.a Any ideas?
Example code and output follows.
#include "stdio.h"
int main()
{
vector signed int a = ( vector signed int ) ( 1, 2, 3, 4);
vector float b = ( vector float ) ( 3.14, 9.32, 1.0, 2.0);
printf("%vd\n",a);
printf("%vf\n",b);
}
gcc-vec -fvec test1.c
output from a.out
%vd
%vf
