There isn't a 1:1 mapping from SVE intrinsics to SVE instructions,
but the intrinsics are still close enough to the instructions for
there to be a specific preferred sequence (or sometimes choice of
preferred sequences) for a given combination of operands. Sometimes
these sequences will be one instruction, sometimes they'll be several.
I therefore wanted a convenient way of matching the exact assembly
implementation of a given function. It's possible to do that using
single scan-assembler lines, but:
(a) they become hard to read for multiline matches
(b) the PASS/FAIL lines tend to be overly long
(c) it's useful to have a single place that skips over uninteresting
lines, such as entry block labels and .cfi_* directives, without
being overly broad
This patch therefore adds a new check-function-bodies dg-final test
that looks for specially-formatted comments. As a demo, the patch
converts the SVE vec_init tests to use the new harness instead of
scan-assembler.
The regexps in parse_function_bodies are fairly general, but might
still need to be extended in future for targets like Darwin or AIX.
