Hi, targeting AMD64 alias x86_64 with -O3, GCC 10.2.0 generates the following code (19 instructions using 86 bytes, plus 6 quadwords using 48 bytes) for __builtin_floor() when -msse4.1 is NOT given:

Properly optimized, shorter and faster code, using only 15 instructions in just 65 bytes, WITHOUT superfluous constants, thus avoiding costly memory accesses and saving at least 16 + 48 bytes, follows: .intel_syntax .equ BIAS, 1023 .text 0: f2 48 0f 2c c0 cvttsd2si rax, xmm0 # rax = trunc(argument) 5: 48 f7 d8 neg rax # jz .L0 # argument zero? 8: 70 36 jo .L0 # argument indefinite? # argument overflows 64-bit integer? a: 48 f7 d8 neg rax d: f2 48 0f 2a c8 cvtsi2sd xmm1, rax # xmm1 = trunc(argument) 12: 48 a1 00 00 00 mov rax, (1 << 63) | (BIAS << 52) 19: 00 00 00 f0 bf 1c: 66 48 0f 6e d0 movq xmm2, rax # xmm2 = -0x1.0p0 21: f2 0f 10 d8 movsd xmm3, xmm0 # xmm3 = argument 25: f2 0f c2 d9 01 cmpltsd xmm3, xmm1 # xmm3 = (argument < trunc(argument)) ? ~0L : 0L 2a: 66 0f 54 da andpd xmm3, xmm2 # xmm3 = (argument < trunc(argument)) ? -1.0 : 0.0 2e: f2 0f 58 d9 addsd xmm3, xmm1 # xmm3 = (argument < trunc(argument)) ? -1.0 : 0.0 # + trunc(argument) # = floor(argument) 32: 66 0f 73 d0 3f psrlq xmm0, 63 37: 66 0f 73 f0 3f psllq xmm0, 63 # xmm0 = (argument & -0.0) ? -0.0 : 0.0 3c: 66 0f 56 c3 orpd xmm0, xmm3 # xmm0 = floor(argument) 40: c3 .L0: ret .end regards Stefan
