The following patch detects the powerpc64le-linux kind == 16 cases
and for the -mabi=ieeelongdouble case (no matter whether it is the
configured in default or just option used on the command line) uses
_r17 or _c17 instead of _r16 or _c17 in the library API names.
From what I can see, e.g. calls to sin on real(kind = 16) works fine
with or without this patch (we call __builtin_sinl and the backend
uses rs6000_mangle_decl_assembler_name which ensures __sinieee128
is called).
What is clearly still broken is IO, where for
real(kind=16) a
a = 1.0
print *, a
end
we call
_gfortran_transfer_real_write (&dt_parm.0, &a, 16);
for both -mabi=ibmlongdouble and -mabi=ieeelongdouble
I don't remember what was the agreement, do we want
_gfortran_transfer_real_write (&dt_parm.0, &a, 17);
for the ieeelongdouble case, or some new entrypoint for
the abi_kind == 17 real/complex IO?
Also, what about kind stored in array descriptors? Shall we use
there the abi_kind or kind?
I guess at least before the IO case is solved there is no point
in checking the testsuite, too many things will be majorly broken...
