In the ppc simulator, clang was warning about some code like this:
busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = 1 + (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P(out_vmask)) ? 1 : 2;
The warning was:
operator '?:' has lower precedence than '+'; '+' will be evaluated first
I suspect that this is not the original authors intention.
PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P is going to be 0 or 1, so if we evaluate the '+'
first, the condition will always be non-zero, so true. The whole
expression could then be simplified to just '1', which doesn't make
much sense.
I suspect the answer the author was expecting was either 2 or 3. Why
they didn't just write:
busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P(out_vmask)) ? 2 : 3;
I have no clue, however, to keep the structure of the code unchanged,
I've updated things to:
busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = 1 + (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P (out_vmask) ? 1 : 2);
which silences the warning from clang, and is, I am guessing, what the
original author intended.
busy_ptr->vscr_busy = 1;
if (out_vmask)
- busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = 1 + (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P(out_vmask)) ? 1 : 2;
+ busy_ptr->nr_writebacks = 1 + (PPC_ONE_BIT_SET_P (out_vmask) ? 1 : 2);
if (WITH_TRACE && ppc_trace[trace_model])
model_trace_altivec_make_busy(model_ptr, vr_mask, 0);
