JIT compiled code may also call them in such case (or when intrinsics disabled with flag): https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/hotspot/share/opto/library_call.cpp#L1815 Consider them as default intrinsics for all platforms (since they are written in C). They are faster than interpreting bytecode. They are also needed for results consistency - the same code is used by Interpreter and JITed code. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12821
