Hi, targeting AMD64 alias x86_64 with -O3, GCC 10.2.0 generates the following code (12 instructions using 51 bytes, plus 4 quadwords using 32 bytes) for __builtin_rint() when -msse4.1 is NOT given:
.text 0: f2 0f 10 15 10 00 00 00 movsd .LC1(%rip), %xmm2 4: R_X86_64_PC32 .rdata 8: f2 0f 10 1d 00 00 00 00 movsd .LC0(%rip), %xmm3 c: R_X86_64_PC32 .rdata 10: 66 0f 28 c8 movapd %xmm0, %xmm1 14: 66 0f 54 ca andpd %xmm2, %xmm1 18: 66 0f 2f d9 comisd %xmm1, %xmm3 1c: 76 14 jbe 32 <rint+0x32> 1e: f2 0f 58 cb addsd %xmm3, %xmm1 22: 66 0f 55 d0 andnpd %xmm0, %xmm2 26: f2 0f 5c cb subsd %xmm3, %xmm1 2a: 66 0f 56 ca orpd %xmm2, %xmm1 2e: 66 0f 28 c1 movapd %xmm1, %xmm0 32: c3 retq .rdata .align 8 0: 00 00 00 00 .LC0: .quad 0x1.0p52 00 00 30 43 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .align 16 10: ff ff ff ff .LC1: .quad ~(-0.0) ff ff ff 7f 18: 00 00 00 00 .quad 0.0 00 00 00 00 .end JFTR: in the best case, the memory accesses cost several cycles, while in the worst case they yield a page fault! Properly optimized, faster and shorter code, using just 9 instructions in only 33 bytes, WITHOUT superfluous constants, thus avoiding costly memory accesses and saving at least 16 + 32 bytes, follows: .intel_syntax .text 0: f2 48 0f 2c c0 cvtsd2si rax, xmm0 # rax = llrint(argument) 5: 48 f7 d8 neg rax # jz .L0 # argument zero? 8: 70 16 jo .L0 # argument indefinite? # argument overflows 64-bit integer? a: 48 f7 d8 neg rax d: f2 48 0f 2a c8 cvtsi2sd xmm1, rax # xmm1 = rint(argument) 12: 66 0f 73 d0 3f psrlq xmm0, 63 17: 66 0f 73 f0 3f psllq xmm0, 63 # xmm0 = (argument & -0.0) ? -0.0 : 0.0 1c: 66 0f 56 c1 orpd xmm0, xmm1 # xmm0 = round(argument) 20: c3 .L0: ret .end regards Stefan
