Not for x86, in any case (I think I talked about this with you on IRC
before). For example, using the latest gcc 7.0.0 20160911 on this
program:
float f1(float x, int n)
{
return __builtin_scalbnf(x, n);
}
double f2(double x, int n)
{
return __builtin_scalbn(x, n);
}
long double f3(long double x, long n)
{
return __builtin_scalbnl(x, n);
}
gives this assembly:
.p2align 4,,15
.globl f1
.type f1, @function
f1:
.LFB0:
.cfi_startproc
jmp scalbnf
.cfi_endproc
.LFE0:
.size f1, .-f1
.p2align 4,,15
.globl f2
.type f2, @function
f2:
.LFB1:
.cfi_startproc
jmp scalbn
.cfi_endproc
.LFE1:
.size f2, .-f2
.p2align 4,,15
.globl f3
.type f3, @function
f3:
.LFB2:
.cfi_startproc
jmp scalbnl
.cfi_endproc
.LFE2:
.size f3, .-f3
E.g., it looks like the __builtin_scalbn functions were always a red
herring. :-)

Yes, at best this is misleading.
