Subject: .../asm-i386/bitops.h  performance improvements
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 04:53:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000b01c57187$ade6b9b0$2800000a@pc365dualp2> (raw)

In find_first_bit() there exists this the sequence:

shll $3,%%edi
addl %%edi,%%eax

LEA knows how to multiply by small powers of 2 and add all in one shot very
efficiently:

leal (%%eax,%%edi,8),%%eax


In find_first_zero_bit() the sequence:

shll $3,%%edi
addl %%edi,%%edx

could similarly become:

leal (%%edx,%%edi,8),%%edx
