Bug ID: 118342
Summary: `a == 0 ? 32 : __builtin_ctz(a)` for Intel and AMD
cores could be implemented even without BMI1
Product: gcc
Version: 15.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: missed-optimization
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
So reading https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/122004.
```
int f(int a)
{
if (a == 0) return 32;
return __builtin_ctz (a);
}
```
Could be implemented as just:
```
mov eax, 32
rep bsf eax, edi
ret
```
This is based on this:
```
Intel has changed it's documentation of it's bsf instruction implementation to
match AMD's. Intel's bsf is now documented to leave the destination register
unchanged if the input is zero.
```
So we might need input from VIA/Zhaoxin about their cores.
