I guess the intention was also to try to fit the independent ops into
the earliest fetch/issue cycle possible.
#define LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE_SYM(reg, tmp, expr) \
lis tmp, (expr)@highest; \
lis reg, (expr)@__AS_ATHIGH; \
ori tmp, tmp, (expr)@higher; \
ori reg, reg, (expr)@l; \
rldimi reg, tmp, 32, 0
Very cool series though.
Thanks,
