Updates
- It had been speculated that this work could generate a "crc" instruction on suitable ISAs if a loop with the right field polynomial were encountered. This has been implemented as a proof of concept on x86
- It has also been speculated that this work could be used to detect clmul idioms outside of a CRC loop. This appears to work by relaxing various aspects of the CRC loop verifier. It is not an area of focus though.
- Minor bugs have been fixed in the implementation as it is prepared for upstreaming. Goal is still integration for gcc-15 in the late spring.
- Implementation done for x86_64 using its clmul. Primary purpose was to show that using clmul, while requiring target specific development, is not a major effort. This is expected to help with the upstreaming effort.
- Code drop from 1/26 integrated into the upstream GCC tester.
- Expectation is to submit code for upstream review in Feb with a goal of integrating for gcc-15 in the late spring.
