| 168 | help |
| 169 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions |
| 170 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old |
| 171 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the |
| 172 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's |
| 173 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In |
| 174 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap |
| 175 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or |
| 176 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It |
| 177 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the |
| 178 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it |
| 179 | does, the use of the builtins is optional. |

| 181 | Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap |
| 182 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it |
| 183 | on architectures that don't have such instructions. |
