The __builtin_darn and __builtin_darn_raw functions require a 64-bit environment supporting ISA 3.0 or later. The __builtin_darn function provides a 64-bit conditioned random number. The __builtin_darn_raw function provides a 64-bit raw random number. The __builtin_darn_32 function provides a 32-bit random number.
The scalar_extract_exp and scalar_extract_sig functions require a 64-bit environment supporting ISA 3.0 or later. The scalar_extract_exp and scalar_extract_sig built-in functions return the significand and the biased exponent value respectively of their source arguments. Within the result returned by scalar_extract_sig, the 0x10000000000000 bit is set if the function’s source argument is in normalized form. Otherwise, this bit is set to 0. Note that the sign of the significand is not represented in the result returned from the scalar_extract_sig function. Use the scalar_test_neg function to test the sign of its double argument.
The scalar_insert_exp function requires a 64-bit environment supporting ISA 3.0 or later. The scalar_insert_exp built-in function returns a double-precision floating point value that is constructed by assembling the values of its significand and exponent arguments. The sign of the result is copied from the most significant bit of the significand argument. The significand and exponent components of the result are composed of the least significant 11 bits of the exponent argument and the least significant 52 bits of the significand argument.
The scalar_cmp_exp_gt, scalar_cmp_exp_lt, scalar_cmp_exp_eq, and scalar_cmp_exp_unordered built-in functions return a non-zero value if arg1 is greater than, less than, equal to, or not comparable to arg2 respectively. The arguments are not comparable if one or the other equals NaN (not a number).
The scalar_test_data_class built-in function returns 1 if any of the condition tests enabled by the value of the condition variable are true, and 0 otherwise. The condition argument must be a compile-time constant integer with value not exceeding 127. The condition argument is encoded as a bitmask with each bit enabling the testing of a different condition, as characterized by the following:
0x40 Test for NaN 0x20 Test for +Infinity 0x10 Test for -Infinity 0x08 Test for +Zero 0x04 Test for -Zero 0x02 Test for +Denormal 0x01 Test for -Denormal
The scalar_test_neg built-in function returns 1 if its source argument holds a negative value, 0 otherwise.
The __builtin_byte_in_set function requires a 64-bit environment supporting ISA 3.0 or later. This function returns a non-zero value if and only if its u argument exactly equals one of the eight bytes contained within its 64-bit set argument.
The __builtin_byte_in_range and __builtin_byte_in_either_range require an environment supporting ISA 3.0 or later. For these two functions, the range argument is encoded as 4 bytes, organized as hi_1:lo_1:hi_2:lo_2. The __builtin_byte_in_range function returns a non-zero value if and only if its u argument is within the range bounded between lo_2 and hi_2 inclusive. The __builtin_byte_in_either_range function returns non-zero if and only if its u argument is within either the range bounded between lo_1 and hi_1 inclusive or the range bounded between lo_2 and hi_2 inclusive.
The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_lt function returns a non-zero value if and only if the number of signficant digits of its value argument is less than its comparison argument. The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_lt_dd and __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_lt_td functions behave similarly, but require that the type of the value argument be __Decimal64 and __Decimal128 respectively.
The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_gt function returns a non-zero value if and only if the number of signficant digits of its value argument is greater than its comparison argument. The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_gt_dd and __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_gt_td functions behave similarly, but require that the type of the value argument be __Decimal64 and __Decimal128 respectively.
The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_eq function returns a non-zero value if and only if the number of signficant digits of its value argument equals its comparison argument. The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_eq_dd and __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_eq_td functions behave similarly, but require that the type of the value argument be __Decimal64 and __Decimal128 respectively.
The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_ov function returns a non-zero value if and only if its value argument has an undefined number of significant digits, such as when value is an encoding of NaN. The __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_ov_dd and __builtin_dfp_dtstsfi_ov_td functions behave similarly, but require that the type of the value argument be __Decimal64 and __Decimal128 respectively.
The following built-in functions are also available for the PowerPC family of processors, starting with ISA 3.0 or later (-mcpu=power9). These string functions are described separately in order to group the descriptions closer to the function prototypes:
int vec_all_nez (vector signed char, vector signed char); int vec_all_nez (vector unsigned char, vector unsigned char); int vec_all_nez (vector signed short, vector signed short); int vec_all_nez (vector unsigned short, vector unsigned short); int vec_all_nez (vector signed int, vector signed int); int vec_all_nez (vector unsigned int, vector unsigned int); int vec_any_eqz (vector signed char, vector signed char); int vec_any_eqz (vector unsigned char, vector unsigned char); int vec_any_eqz (vector signed short, vector signed short); int vec_any_eqz (vector unsigned short, vector unsigned short); int vec_any_eqz (vector signed int, vector signed int); int vec_any_eqz (vector unsigned int, vector unsigned int); vector bool char vec_cmpnez (vector signed char arg1, vector signed char arg2); vector bool char vec_cmpnez (vector unsigned char arg1, vector unsigned char arg2); vector bool short vec_cmpnez (vector signed short arg1, vector signed short arg2); vector bool short vec_cmpnez (vector unsigned short arg1, vector unsigned short arg2); vector bool int vec_cmpnez (vector signed int arg1, vector signed int arg2); vector bool int vec_cmpnez (vector unsigned int, vector unsigned int); signed int vec_cntlz_lsbb (vector signed char); signed int vec_cntlz_lsbb (vector unsigned char); signed int vec_cnttz_lsbb (vector signed char); signed int vec_cnttz_lsbb (vector unsigned char); vector signed char vec_xl_len (signed char *addr, size_t len); vector unsigned char vec_xl_len (unsigned char *addr, size_t len); vector signed int vec_xl_len (signed int *addr, size_t len); vector unsigned int vec_xl_len (unsigned int *addr, size_t len); vector signed __int128 vec_xl_len (signed __int128 *addr, size_t len); vector unsigned __int128 vec_xl_len (unsigned __int128 *addr, size_t len); vector signed long long vec_xl_len (signed long long *addr, size_t len); vector unsigned long long vec_xl_len (unsigned long long *addr, size_t len); vector signed short vec_xl_len (signed short *addr, size_t len); vector unsigned short vec_xl_len (unsigned short *addr, size_t len); vector double vec_xl_len (double *addr, size_t len); vector float vec_xl_len (float *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector signed char data, signed char *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector unsigned char data, unsigned char *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector signed int data, signed int *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector unsigned int data, unsigned int *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector unsigned __int128 data, unsigned __int128 *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector signed long long data, signed long long *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector unsigned long long data, unsigned long long *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector signed short data, signed short *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector unsigned short data, unsigned short *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector signed __int128 data, signed __int128 *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector double data, double *addr, size_t len); void vec_xst_len (vector float data, float *addr, size_t len); signed char vec_xlx (unsigned int index, vector signed char data); unsigned char vec_xlx (unsigned int index, vector unsigned char data); signed short vec_xlx (unsigned int index, vector signed short data); unsigned short vec_xlx (unsigned int index, vector unsigned short data); signed int vec_xlx (unsigned int index, vector signed int data); unsigned int vec_xlx (unsigned int index, vector unsigned int data); float vec_xlx (unsigned int index, vector float data); signed char vec_xrx (unsigned int index, vector signed char data); unsigned char vec_xrx (unsigned int index, vector unsigned char data); signed short vec_xrx (unsigned int index, vector signed short data); unsigned short vec_xrx (unsigned int index, vector unsigned short data); signed int vec_xrx (unsigned int index, vector signed int data); unsigned int vec_xrx (unsigned int index, vector unsigned int data); float vec_xrx (unsigned int index, vector float data);
The vec_all_nez, vec_any_eqz, and vec_cmpnez perform pairwise comparisons between the elements at the same positions within their two vector arguments. The vec_all_nez function returns a non-zero value if and only if all pairwise comparisons are not equal and no element of either vector argument contains a zero. The vec_any_eqz function returns a non-zero value if and only if at least one pairwise comparison is equal or if at least one element of either vector argument contains a zero. The vec_cmpnez function returns a vector of the same type as its two arguments, within which each element consists of all ones to denote that either the corresponding elements of the incoming arguments are not equal or that at least one of the corresponding elements contains zero. Otherwise, the element of the returned vector contains all zeros.
The vec_cntlz_lsbb function returns the count of the number of consecutive leading byte elements (starting from position 0 within the supplied vector argument) for which the least-significant bit equals zero. The vec_cnttz_lsbb function returns the count of the number of consecutive trailing byte elements (starting from position 15 and counting backwards within the supplied vector argument) for which the least-significant bit equals zero.
The vec_xl_len and vec_xst_len functions require a 64-bit environment supporting ISA 3.0 or later. The vec_xl_len function loads a variable length vector from memory. The vec_xst_len function stores a variable length vector to memory. With both the vec_xl_len and vec_xst_len functions, the addr argument represents the memory address to or from which data will be transferred, and the len argument represents the number of bytes to be transferred, as computed by the C expression min((len & 0xff), 16). If this expression’s value is not a multiple of the vector element’s size, the behavior of this function is undefined. In the case that the underlying computer is configured to run in big-endian mode, the data transfer moves bytes 0 to (len - 1) of the corresponding vector. In little-endian mode, the data transfer moves bytes (16 - len) to 15 of the corresponding vector. For the load function, any bytes of the result vector that are not loaded from memory are set to zero. The value of the addr argument need not be aligned on a multiple of the vector’s element size.
The vec_xlx and vec_xrx functions extract the single element selected by the index argument from the vector represented by the data argument. The index argument always specifies a byte offset, regardless of the size of the vector element. With vec_xlx, index is the offset of the first byte of the element to be extracted. With vec_xrx, index represents the last byte of the element to be extracted, measured from the right end of the vector. In other words, the last byte of the element to be extracted is found at position (15 - index). There is no requirement that index be a multiple of the vector element size. However, if the size of the vector element added to index is greater than 15, the content of the returned value is undefined.
The following built-in functions are available for the PowerPC family of processors when hardware decimal floating point (-mhard-dfp) is available:
