[PATCH v2] selftests: riscv: fix v_exec_initval_nolibc.c

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

 



Vector registers are zero initialized by the kernel. Stop accepting
"all ones" as a clean value.

Note that this was not working as expected given that
	value == 0xff
can be assumed to be always false by the compiler as value's range is
[-128, 127]. Both GCC (-Wtype-limits) and clang
(-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare) warn about this.

Changes in v2:

Remove code that becomes useless now that the only "clean" value for
vector registers is 0.
