[Gustavo Serra Scalet]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the review!

It contains already the _ppc, but not as a suffix: "macroAssembler_ppc_sha.cpp"
I followed the same idea behind other existing files like "macroAssembler_x86_log10.cpp", "macroAssembler_x86_pow.cpp", "macroAssembler_x86_tan.cpp"...

Do you want me to change it to "macroAssembler_sha_ppc.cpp" ?

Right! Thanks for spotting it.

For a moment I thought that "Register" was a structure so a reference would reduce initialization of that type, but analyzing now, it's a pointer. Therefore there is no reason to pass a reference to a pointer on my function.

I'm changing that. Thanks

I don't see the reason for that because the vshasigmaw/vshasigmad are only available on POWER8 and beyond. Those systems are, AFAIK, little endian only, right?

Otherwise I will need to reconsider some steps. But please advise if that will be useful for some platform.

I didn't add tests. I only enabled them to ppc now which should be easy to review.

How do I ask for that kind of sponsor?

Thanks
