<h4 class="subsection">6.59.14 MIPS Paired-Single Support</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The MIPS64 architecture includes a number of instructions that
|
|
operate on pairs of single-precision floating-point values.
|
|
Each pair is packed into a 64-bit floating-point register,
|
|
with one element being designated the “upper half” and
|
|
the other being designated the “lower half”.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>GCC supports paired-single operations using both the generic
|
|
vector extensions (see <a href="Vector-Extensions.html#Vector-Extensions">Vector Extensions</a>) and a collection of
|
|
MIPS-specific built-in functions. Both kinds of support are
|
|
enabled by the <samp>-mpaired-single</samp> command-line option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The vector type associated with paired-single values is usually
|
|
called <code>v2sf</code>. It can be defined in C as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">typedef float v2sf __attribute__ ((vector_size (8)));
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>v2sf</code> values are initialized in the same way as aggregates.
|
|
For example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">v2sf a = {1.5, 9.1};
|
|
v2sf b;
|
|
float e, f;
|
|
b = (v2sf) {e, f};
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>Note:</em> The CPU’s endianness determines which value is stored in
|
|
the upper half of a register and which value is stored in the lower half.
|
|
On little-endian targets, the first value is the lower one and the second
|
|
value is the upper one. The opposite order applies to big-endian targets.
|
|
For example, the code above sets the lower half of <code>a</code> to
|
|
<code>1.5</code> on little-endian targets and <code>9.1</code> on big-endian targets.
|
