compile time constant expressions

Mike Rieker
Note: This was originally posted on 12th March 2009 at http://forums.arm.com

I am seeing code like this generated from the armcc v4.0 compiler (just downloaded it a couple hours ago):

  MOV r0,#5
  CLZ r0,r0
  RSB r7,r0,#0x3f

So I would think the compiler would know that R7 has 34 in it or whatever.  It isn't so bad these three instructions, it's just that in this case the code goes on to divide by the r7 value and so generates a call to __aeabi_uldivmod whereas I was expecting the compiler to generate a UMULL or something like that.

Is there some command-line optimization option I can use to fix this?  I am using this command line:

  armcc --cpu=ARM926EJ-S --inline -Otime -O3 -S -o test.s test.c

Thanks!
Mike

    Hi,

    In case of these three instuctions , compiler should not be calling any devide function.
    BYW CLZ is ARM assembly insturction.

    There isn't a count leading zero construct in the C language, so presumably it's something like:

    [font="Courier New"]int func(void)
    {
      return 63 - __clz(5);
    }[/font]

    Using RVCTs __clz() instrinsic.
