------- Comment #4 from intvnut at gmail dot com 2008-04-25 12:29 ------- Is there a mechanism to provide different implementations based on the target (or in this case, class of target)? The byte count approach certainly is more appropriate for 8-bit targets, sure, but what about the rest of us? How are targets handled that might have this as an instruction?
FWIW, I'd be happy to write a 32-bit version to complement the 64-bit version I provided with my report if there's a way to build a different implementation based on the class of target being compiled for. That way, embedded 8/16 bit, 32 bit and 64 bit targets can each have a version that's appropriate for that class of target. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36041
