6.58.19 PowerPC Built-in Functions

These built-in functions are available for the PowerPC family of processors:

     float __builtin_recipdivf (float, float);
     float __builtin_rsqrtf (float);
     double __builtin_recipdiv (double, double);
     double __builtin_rsqrt (double);
     uint64_t __builtin_ppc_get_timebase ();
     unsigned long __builtin_ppc_mftb ();
     double __builtin_unpack_longdouble (long double, int);
     long double __builtin_pack_longdouble (double, double);

The vec_rsqrt, __builtin_rsqrt, and __builtin_rsqrtf functions generate multiple instructions to implement the reciprocal sqrt functionality using reciprocal sqrt estimate instructions.

The __builtin_recipdiv, and __builtin_recipdivf functions generate multiple instructions to implement division using the reciprocal estimate instructions.

The __builtin_ppc_get_timebase and __builtin_ppc_mftb functions generate instructions to read the Time Base Register. The __builtin_ppc_get_timebase function may generate multiple instructions and always returns the 64 bits of the Time Base Register. The __builtin_ppc_mftb function always generates one instruction and returns the Time Base Register value as an unsigned long, throwing away the most significant word on 32-bit environments.

The following built-in functions are available for the PowerPC family of processors, starting with ISA 2.06 or later (-mcpu=power7 or -mpopcntd):

     long __builtin_bpermd (long, long);
     int __builtin_divwe (int, int);
     int __builtin_divweo (int, int);
     unsigned int __builtin_divweu (unsigned int, unsigned int);
     unsigned int __builtin_divweuo (unsigned int, unsigned int);
     long __builtin_divde (long, long);
     long __builtin_divdeo (long, long);
     unsigned long __builtin_divdeu (unsigned long, unsigned long);
     unsigned long __builtin_divdeuo (unsigned long, unsigned long);
     unsigned int cdtbcd (unsigned int);
     unsigned int cbcdtd (unsigned int);
     unsigned int addg6s (unsigned int, unsigned int);

The __builtin_divde, __builtin_divdeo, __builtin_divdeu, __builtin_divdeou functions require a 64-bit environment support ISA 2.06 or later.

The following built-in functions are available for the PowerPC family of processors when hardware decimal floating point (-mhard-dfp) is available:

     _Decimal64 __builtin_dxex (_Decimal64);
     _Decimal128 __builtin_dxexq (_Decimal128);
     _Decimal64 __builtin_ddedpd (int, _Decimal64);
     _Decimal128 __builtin_ddedpdq (int, _Decimal128);
     _Decimal64 __builtin_denbcd (int, _Decimal64);
     _Decimal128 __builtin_denbcdq (int, _Decimal128);
     _Decimal64 __builtin_diex (_Decimal64, _Decimal64);
     _Decimal128 _builtin_diexq (_Decimal128, _Decimal128);
     _Decimal64 __builtin_dscli (_Decimal64, int);
     _Decimal128 __builtin_dscliq (_Decimal128, int);
     _Decimal64 __builtin_dscri (_Decimal64, int);
     _Decimal128 __builtin_dscriq (_Decimal128, int);
     unsigned long long __builtin_unpack_dec128 (_Decimal128, int);
     _Decimal128 __builtin_pack_dec128 (unsigned long long, unsigned long long);

The following built-in functions are available for the PowerPC family of processors when the Vector Scalar (vsx) instruction set is available:

     unsigned long long __builtin_unpack_vector_int128 (vector __int128_t, int);
     vector __int128_t __builtin_pack_vector_int128 (unsigned long long,
                                                     unsigned long long);
