Re: [PATCH] [inline assembly] fix pcm_dmix_i386.h assembly chunk interfaces

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Takashi, 

I would like an update on the review process ([PATCH */6 V2] [pcm_dmix assembly]) 

As a reminder, I split the changes in 6 distinct patches. 
The 3 first patches produce exactly the same binary output, so they do not need testing. 
The 4th one has just some minor change due to the fact that I added an instruction -- I am highly confident it breaks nothing. 

If you need I test the 2 last ones (that reduce the size of the produced binary), could you point me out what test I should run? 

Meanwhile, my deadline comes and I would really appreciate to see the patches applied by wednesday night. 

Best regards, 
Frédéric

Hi Takashi, 

I resubmitted the patch (V2) with some modifications: 
- I split the changes so you will not have to apply all of them; 
- the 4 first patches are the ones for safety, and barely produce the same binary output some I am highly confident in the fact they do not need testing; 
- the 2 last patches are small changes that can help the compiler producing a better/smaller code. They have not been tested yet. Have you any ready to go benchmark to test with? 
- the patches work both on 32- and 64bit version. 

To compare the binary output, I used objdump and diff on libpcm.a. I compared the master with each patch with both 32 and 64 versions. 

Hope it will help. 
Regards, 
Frédéric

Thanks. Now I confirmed that the build test passed. 

But before merging the patch: have you actually tested the code on 
your machine and confirmed that it keeps working? If you've tested, 
it'd be helpful to mention about the test coverage, it's a good 
measure for judgment. Since it handles different compile flavors 
(with and without MMX support), I'd like to know whether it's actually 
tested. 

BTW, when you resubmit a patch with the correction, please put "v2" or 
whatever the revision in the subject to tell from the earlier 
patches. Also, it'd be appreciated to list up summaries of changes 
between v1 and v2 in the patch description or after the separator line 
("---") if you don't need to include that in the git commit log. 


thanks, 

Takashi
