Now I notice that some of the existing mpn fn's have alternate entry points eg mpn_add_n and mpn_add_nc where you have an extra parameter to specify a carry in . I can do this to all the new K8 asm fn's , it pretty trivial. It just a question of how to call them , for example
.align 16 mpn_add_n: mov $0,carryreg .align 16 mpn_add_nc: here is the usual stuff Here we either align it and have to skip over 16 bytes (which is at least 1 extra cycle) or we dont bother with the alignment for the _nc version , and have a penalty for an unaligned fn call (which costs what?) . The other way is to just have mpn_add_nc , and make mpn_add_n a macro with a carry in of zero.This would break strict compatibility with gmp. Or perhaps not bother , as their not used much. Any thoughts? on this , preferances? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
