Hello everyone,

I have a patch for gcc that looks like this:
Code:
@@ -10532,19 +10494,6 @@
     ix86_expand_xorsign (operands);
   DONE;
 })
-
-(define_insn_and_split "@xorsign<mode>3_1"
-  [(set (match_operand:MODEF 0 "register_operand" "=&Yv")
-   (unspec:MODEF
-     [(match_operand:MODEF 1 "register_operand" "Yv")
-      (match_operand:MODEF 2 "register_operand" "0")
-      (match_operand:<ssevecmode> 3 "nonimmediate_operand" "Yvm")]
-     UNSPEC_XORSIGN))]
-  "SSE_FLOAT_MODE_P (<MODE>mode) && TARGET_SSE_MATH"
-  "#"
-  "&& reload_completed"
-  [(const_int 0)]
-  "ix86_split_xorsign (operands); DONE;")
 
 ;; One complement instructions



Right above the "One compliment instructions" line, there is a weird character that is not even rendered at all by Gentoo's forum software. You can see it here. It is definitely present in the original source code as well, as can be seen here. (just search for "One compliment instructions") The problem is that this thing prevents the above patch from applying. I have tested this on multiple devices and operating systems, but it looks the same everywhere. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

Try with the above
I used
Code:

sed $'s/[^[:print:]\t]//g'

to remove any stupid little hidden characters.
What does this patch do?
Are you applying it the correct way ie via /etc/portage/patches directory?
I see its from clearlinux.

xgivolari,
That looks like a form feed: ascii
Code:
014   12    0C    FF  '\f' (form feed)

That's very common in the gcc code base. I count 1168 files in the gcc-11.2.0 code base. Since it was common, and since it's ascii, I would be surprised if patch could not handle it.

I tried testing your patch on the gcc-11.2.0 source file and was able to replicate your failure. But instead of the trailing context (where the form feed is), I see a difference in the leading context:
Code:
  "ix86_expand_xorsign (operands); DONE;")

(define_insn_and_split "@xorsign<mode>3_1"


I also tried it on the sample file you provided, but that had many failures.

xgivolari,

That patch already seems to have been applied as the lines prefixed with a "-" have been removed from the source that you linked.
