Re: From LLVM: I got a note that LLVM plans to remove PPC64's V1 abi support; I'm asked about what support there is for the PPC64 little-endian/V2 abi (see forwarded message)

Sean Fertile's messages are showing up empty on the list. So I'm just forwarding the two that I've gotten to the lists (and not the individuals). I think they stand fairly well on their own, so no other message history is included.

I'm definitely guilty of conflating big-endian with V1-abi and little-endian with V2-abi. I wasn't aware of people using the V2 abi on big-endian machines. We can make sure to test big-endian in lit tests as we deliver support for the V2 abi, but its unlikely I'll be able to run big-endian programs on actual hardware . I agree that we should keep it simple to add back the V1 abi support. > > Sean On 03/28/18 11:22, Sean Fertile wrote: > Hi Mark, > > Just so we are clear this is about V1 abi support in lld, not in llvm.
