This allows optimizing copying ranges of floating-point types when they have the same size and representation, e.g. between _Float32 and float when we know that float uses the same IEEE binary32 format as _Float32.
On some targets double and long double both use IEEE binary64 format so we could enable memcpy between those types, but we don't have existing macros to check for that case. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * include/bits/cpp_type_traits.h (__memcpyable): Add specializations for compatible floating-point types. --- Tested powerpc64le-linux. libstdc++-v3/include/bits/cpp_type_traits.h | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+) diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/cpp_type_traits.h b/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/cpp_type_traits.h index 2f9ce75e82c..e412f8d0770 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/cpp_type_traits.h +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/cpp_type_traits.h @@ -472,6 +472,8 @@ __INT_N(__GLIBCXX_TYPE_INT_N_3) template<typename _Tp> struct __memcpyable_integer; // For heterogeneous types, allow memcpy between equal-sized integers. + // N.B. we cannot do the same for equal-sized enums, they're not assignable. + // We cannot do it for pointers, because derived-to-base can adjust offset. template<typename _Tp, typename _Up> struct __memcpyable<_Tp*, _Up*> { @@ -554,6 +556,27 @@ __INT_N(__GLIBCXX_TYPE_INT_N_3) struct __memcpyable_integer<unsigned __int128> { enum { __width = 128 }; }; #endif +#if defined(__STDCPP_FLOAT32_T__) && defined(_GLIBCXX_FLOAT_IS_IEEE_BINARY32) + template<> + struct __memcpyable<_Float32*, float*> { enum { __value = true }; }; + template<> + struct __memcpyable<float*, _Float32*> { enum { __value = true }; }; +#endif + +#if defined(__STDCPP_FLOAT64_T__) && defined(_GLIBCXX_DOUBLE_IS_IEEE_BINARY64) + template<> + struct __memcpyable<_Float64*, double*> { enum { __value = true }; }; + template<> + struct __memcpyable<double*, _Float64*> { enum { __value = true }; }; +#endif + +#if defined(__STDCPP_FLOAT128_T__) && defined(_GLIBCXX_LDOUBLE_IS_IEEE_BINARY128) + template<> + struct __memcpyable<_Float128*, long double*> { enum { __value = true }; }; + template<> + struct __memcpyable<long double*, _Float128*> { enum { __value = true }; }; +#endif + // Whether two iterator types can be used with memcmp. // This trait only says it's well-formed to use memcmp, not that it // gives the right answer for a given algorithm.
