As well, as an architecture specific option we add asm statements to explicitly specify order of operations and prevent reassociation of instructions that lengthens the loop carried dependency. This may have no affect as the compiler may have ordered instructions the same way without it but in testing this has not been the case for GCC. Improving GCC to reliably schedule instructions ideally cannot be easily done. Architecture(s) that use the reassociation barriers are: x86 Note it is very unlikely the reassociation barriers would de-optimize performance on any architecture and with an imperfect compiler it may help performance, especially on out-of-order cpus, so it is suggested that the respective maintainers add them. Architecture maintainers are encouraged to benchmark this with __asm_reassociation_barrier defined to __asm__ like it is in x86. */ #ifndef __asm_reassociation_barrier # define __asm_reassociation_barrier(...) #endif static __always_inline uint32_t __attribute__ ((unused)) _dl_new_hash (const char *str) { const unsigned char *s = (const unsigned char *) str; unsigned int h = 5381; unsigned int c0, c1; for (;;) { c0 = s[0]; /* Since hashed string is normally not empty, this is unlikely on the first iteration of the loop. */ if (__glibc_unlikely (c0 == 0)) return h; c1 = s[1]; if (c1 == 0) { /* Ideal computational order is: c0 += h; h *= 32; h += c0; */ c0 += h; __asm_reassociation_barrier("" : "+r"(h) : "r"(c0)); h = h * 32 + c0; return h; } /* Ideal computational order is: c1 += c0; h *= 33 * 33; c0 *= 32; c1 += c0; h += c1; */ c1 += c0; __asm_reassociation_barrier("" : "+r"(c1), "+r"(c0)); h *= 33 * 33; c1 += c0 * 32; __asm_reassociation_barrier("" : "+r"(c1)); h += c1; s += 2; } } #endif /* dl-new-hash.h */
