<h4 class="subsection">6.59.29 SPU Built-in Functions</h4>
<p>GCC provides extensions for the SPU processor as described in the
Sony/Toshiba/IBM SPU Language Extensions Specification. GCC&rsquo;s
implementation differs in several ways.
</p>
<ul>
<li> The optional extension of specifying vector constants in parentheses is
not supported.
</li><li> A vector initializer requires no cast if the vector constant is of the
same type as the variable it is initializing.
</li><li> If <code>signed</code> or <code>unsigned</code> is omitted, the signedness of the
vector type is the default signedness of the base type. The default
varies depending on the operating system, so a portable program should
always specify the signedness.
</li><li> By default, the keyword <code>__vector</code> is added. The macro
<code>vector</code> is defined in <code>&lt;spu_intrinsics.h&gt;</code> and can be
undefined.
</li><li> GCC allows using a <code>typedef</code> name as the type specifier for a
vector type.
</li><li> For C, overloaded functions are implemented with macros so the following
does not work:
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> spu_add ((vector signed int){1, 2, 3, 4}, foo);
</pre></div>
<p>Since <code>spu_add</code> is a macro, the vector constant in the example
is treated as four separate arguments. Wrap the entire argument in
parentheses for this to work.
</p>
</li><li> The extended version of <code>__builtin_expect</code> is not supported.
</li></ul>
<p><em>Note:</em> Only the interface described in the aforementioned
specification is supported. Internally, GCC uses built-in functions to
implement the required functionality, but these are not supported and
are subject to change without notice.
