Dunno if we really need a builtin for this, especially if it is lowered
to that x >= y && x <= y early, will defer to Joseph.
Because if it is for better code generation only, IMNSHO we want to optimize
even when users write it that way by hand and so want to pattern recognize
that during instruction selection before expansion (isel pass) or during
expansion if target can do that.
E.g. x86 with AVX can do that:
where the 4 booleans are A>B, A<B, A=B, Unordered and Yes/No is whether
signal is raised when one or both of the operands are QNaN (it is raised
always if at least one is SNaN):
EQ_OQ (EQ) 0H Equal (ordered, non-signaling) False False True False No
LT_OS (LT) 1H Less-than (ordered, signaling) False True False False Yes
LE_OS (LE) 2H Less-than-or-equal (ordered, signaling) False True True False Yes
UNORD_Q (UNORD) 3H Unordered (non-signaling) False False False True No
NEQ_UQ (NEQ) 4H Not-equal (unordered, non-signaling) True True False True No
NLT_US (NLT) 5H Not-less-than (unordered, signaling) True False True True Yes
NLE_US (NLE) 6H Not-less-than-or-equal (unordered, signaling) True False False
True Yes
ORD_Q (ORD) 7H Ordered (non-signaling) True True True False No
EQ_UQ 8H Equal (unordered, non-signaling) False False True True No
NGE_US (NGE) 9H Not-greater-than-or-equal (unordered, signaling) False True
False True Yes
NGT_US (NGT) AH Not-greater-than (unordered, signaling) False True True True Yes
FALSE_OQ (FALSE) BH False (ordered, non-signaling) False False False False No
NEQ_OQ CH Not-equal (ordered, non-signaling) True True False False No
GE_OS (GE) DH Greater-than-or-equal (ordered, signaling) True False True False
Yes
GT_OS (GT) EH Greater-than (ordered, signaling) True False False False Yes
TRUE_UQ (TRUE) FH True (unordered, non-signaling) True True True True No
EQ_OS 10H Equal (ordered, signaling) False False True False Yes
LT_OQ 11H Less-than (ordered, non-signaling) False True False False No
LE_OQ 12H Less-than-or-equal (ordered, non-signaling) False True True False No
UNORD_S 13H Unordered (signaling) False False False True Yes
NEQ_US 14H Not-equal (unordered, signaling) True True False True Yes
NLT_UQ 15H Not-less-than (unordered, non-signaling) True False True True No
NLE_UQ 16H Not-less-than-or-equal (unordered, non-signaling) True False False
True No
ORD_S 17H Ordered (signaling) True True True False Yes
EQ_US 18H Equal (unordered, signaling) False False True True Yes
NGE_UQ 19H Not-greater-than-or-equal (unordered, non-signaling) False True
False True No
NGT_UQ 1AH Not-greater-than (unordered, non-signaling) False True True True No
FALSE_OS 1BH False (ordered, signaling) False False False False Yes
NEQ_OS 1CH Not-equal (ordered, signaling) True True False False Yes
GE_OQ 1DH Greater-than-or-equal (ordered, non-signaling) True False True False
No
GT_OQ 1EH Greater-than (ordered, non-signaling) True False False False No
TRUE_US 1FH True (unordered, signaling) True True True True Yes
So x >= y && x <= y can be handled using vcmpeq_ossd or similar instructions.
