[PowerPC] Add BCDCOPYSIGN and BCDSETSIGN Instruction Support (#144874)
Support the following BCD format conversion builtins for PowerPC.
- `__builtin_bcdcopysign` – Conversion that returns the decimal value of
the first parameter combined with the sign code of the second parameter.
`
- `__builtin_bcdsetsign` – Conversion that sets the sign code of the
input parameter in packed decimal format.
> Note: This built-in function is valid only when all following
conditions are met:
> -qarch is set to utilize POWER9 technology.
> The bcd.h file is included.
## Prototypes
```c
vector unsigned char __builtin_bcdcopysign(vector unsigned char, vector unsigned char);
vector unsigned char __builtin_bcdsetsign(vector unsigned char, unsigned char);
```
## Usage Details
`__builtin_bcdsetsign`: Returns the packed decimal value of the first
parameter combined with the sign code.
The sign code is set according to the following rules:
- If the packed decimal value of the first parameter is positive, the
following rules apply:
- If the second parameter is 0, the sign code is set to 0xC.
- If the second parameter is 1, the sign code is set to 0xF.
- If the packed decimal value of the first parameter is negative, the
sign code is set to 0xD.
> notes:
> The second parameter can only be 0 or 1.
> You can determine whether a packed decimal value is positive or
negative as follows:
> - Packed decimal values with sign codes **0xA, 0xC, 0xE, or 0xF** are
interpreted as positive.
> - Packed decimal values with sign codes **0xB or 0xD** are interpreted
as negative.

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
