The Power ISA 2.07 document includes a correction to the description for the
behavior of the xscvspdp instruction, indicating that if the source argument
is a SNaN, it is first changed to a QNaN before being converted from
single-precision to double-precision. This updated information about the
xscvspdp instruction exposed a bug in the VEX implementation for that
instruction and also a bug in the testing for all instructions having
special behavior for single-precision SNaN arguments.
The VEX code fix for this issue is r2760.
This patch fixes the test cases for the ISA 2.07.
Testing bug: In several ppc[64] test cases, an array of special
double-precision floating point values is set up, and then all elements of
that array are copied via assignment to a single-precision array ('float'
type). Assignment from a double to a float works fine for all cases, except for
SNaN values. In the case of a SNaN, the source is changed to a QNaN and then
converted to single-precision. So the end result was that our array of floats
did not have an actual SNaN value, and, therefore, any instructions that had
special behavior for a single-precision SNaN input argument was never being
properly tested. This patch makes some functional changes in the following
testcases:
none/tests/ppc[32|64]/test_isa_2_06_part2.c
none/tests/ppc[32|64]/test_isa_2_06_part3.c
none/tests/ppc[32|64]/test_isa_2_07_part2.c
These changes impacted the associated *.stdout.exp files, so the patch also
updates those files. Additionally, there were several errors in testcase
source comments that misidentified QNaN and SNaN bit patterns which this patch
corrects.
