GCC provides a large number of built-in functions other than the ones
mentioned above. Some of these are for internal use in the processing
of exceptions or variable-length argument lists and are not
documented here because they may change from time to time; we do not
recommend general use of these functions.
<p>The remaining functions are provided for optimization purposes.
<p><a name="index-fno_002dbuiltin-4019"></a>GCC includes built-in versions of many of the functions in the standard
C library. The versions prefixed with <code>__builtin_</code> are always
treated as having the same meaning as the C library function even if you
specify the <samp><span class="option">-fno-builtin</span></samp> option. (see <a href="C-Dialect-Options.html#C-Dialect-Options">C Dialect Options</a>)
Many of these functions are only optimized in certain cases; if they are
not optimized in a particular case, a call to the library function is
emitted.

<p>You can use the built-in function <code>__builtin_types_compatible_p</code> to
determine whether two types are the same.
<p>This built-in function returns 1 if the unqualified versions of the
types <var>type1</var> and <var>type2</var> (which are types, not expressions) are

<p>This built-in function ignores top level qualifiers (e.g., <code>const</code>,

<p>The type <code>int[]</code> and <code>int[5]</code> are compatible. On the other
hand, <code>int</code> and <code>char *</code> are not compatible, even if the size
of their types, on the particular architecture are the same. Also, the
amount of pointer indirection is taken into account when determining
similarity. Consequently, <code>short *</code> is not similar to
<code>short **</code>. Furthermore, two types that are typedefed are
considered compatible if their underlying types are compatible.
<p>An <code>enum</code> type is not considered to be compatible with another
<code>enum</code> type even if both are compatible with the same integer
type; this is what the C standard specifies.
For example, <code>enum {foo, bar}</code> is not similar to
<code>enum {hot, dog}</code>.

<p>You can use the built-in function <code>__builtin_choose_expr</code> to

<p>This built-in function is analogous to the ‘<samp><span class="samp">? :</span></samp>’ operator in C,
except that the expression returned has its type unaltered by promotion
rules. Also, the built-in function does not evaluate the expression
that is not chosen. For example, if <var>const_exp</var> evaluates to true,
<var>exp2</var> is not evaluated even if it has side-effects.
<p>This built-in function can return an lvalue if the chosen argument is an

<p>If <var>exp1</var> is returned, the return type is the same as <var>exp1</var>'s

<blockquote><p>You can use the built-in function <code>__builtin_constant_p</code> to
determine if a value is known to be constant at compile time and hence
that GCC can perform constant-folding on expressions involving that
value. The argument of the function is the value to test. The function
returns the integer 1 if the argument is known to be a compile-time
constant and 0 if it is not known to be a compile-time constant. A
return of 0 does not indicate that the value is <em>not</em> a constant,
but merely that GCC cannot prove it is a constant with the specified
value of the <samp><span class="option">-O</span></samp> option.
<p>You typically use this function in an embedded application where
memory is a critical resource. If you have some complex calculation,
you may want it to be folded if it involves constants, but need to call
a function if it does not. For example:
<pre class="smallexample"> #define Scale_Value(X) \
(__builtin_constant_p (X) \
? ((X) * SCALE + OFFSET) : Scale (X))
</pre>
<p>You may use this built-in function in either a macro or an inline
function. However, if you use it in an inlined function and pass an
argument of the function as the argument to the built-in, GCC
never returns 1 when you call the inline function with a string constant
or compound literal (see <a href="Compound-Literals.html#Compound-Literals">Compound Literals</a>) and does not return 1
when you pass a constant numeric value to the inline function unless you
specify the <samp><span class="option">-O</span></samp> option.
<p>You may also use <code>__builtin_constant_p</code> in initializers for static
data. For instance, you can write
<pre class="smallexample"> static const int table[] = {
__builtin_constant_p (EXPRESSION) ? (EXPRESSION) : -1,
/* <span class="roman">...</span> */
};
</pre>
<p class="noindent">This is an acceptable initializer even if <var>EXPRESSION</var> is not a
constant expression, including the case where
<code>__builtin_constant_p</code> returns 1 because <var>EXPRESSION</var> can be
folded to a constant but <var>EXPRESSION</var> contains operands that are
not otherwise permitted in a static initializer (for example,
<code>0 && foo ()</code>). GCC must be more conservative about evaluating the
built-in in this case, because it has no opportunity to perform
optimization.

<blockquote><p>If control flow reaches the point of the <code>__builtin_unreachable</code>,
the program is undefined. It is useful in situations where the
compiler cannot deduce the unreachability of the code.
<p>One such case is immediately following an <code>asm</code> statement that
either never terminates, or one that transfers control elsewhere
and never returns. In this example, without the
<code>__builtin_unreachable</code>, GCC issues a warning that control
reaches the end of a non-void function. It also generates code
to return after the <code>asm</code>.
<pre class="smallexample"> int f (int c, int v)

<p class="noindent">Because the <code>asm</code> statement unconditionally transfers control out

You can insert calls to <code>__builtin_prefetch</code> into code for which

The value <var>locality</var> must be a compile-time constant integer between
zero and three. A value of zero means that the data has no temporal
locality, so it need not be left in the cache after the access. A value

possible FP classes and are used for return values. They must be
constant values and they must appear in this order: <code>FP_NAN</code>,
<code>FP_INFINITE</code>, <code>FP_NORMAL</code>, <code>FP_SUBNORMAL</code> and
<code>FP_ZERO</code>. The ellipsis is for exactly one floating-point value
to classify. GCC treats the last argument as type-generic, which
means it does not do default promotion from float to double.

leading ‘<samp><span class="samp">0</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">0x</span></samp>’ prefixes. The number parsed is placed
in the significand such that the least significant bit of the number
is at the least significant bit of the significand. The number is
truncated to fit the significand field provided. The significand is
forced to be a quiet NaN.
<p>This function, if given a string literal all of which would have been
