|  |  | 
|  | add gcc builtins for alpha instructions | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | *** | 
|  |  | 
|  | custom expand byteswap into nifty | 
|  | extract/insert/mask byte/word/longword/quadword low/high | 
|  | sequences | 
|  |  | 
|  | *** | 
|  |  | 
|  | see if any of the extract/insert/mask operations can be added | 
|  |  | 
|  | *** | 
|  |  | 
|  | match more interesting things for cmovlbc cmovlbs (move if low bit clear/set) | 
|  |  | 
|  | *** | 
|  |  | 
|  | lower srem and urem | 
|  |  | 
|  | remq(i,j):  i - (j * divq(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
|  | remqu(i,j): i - (j * divqu(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
|  | reml(i,j):  i - (j * divl(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
|  | remlu(i,j): i - (j * divlu(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
|  |  | 
|  | *** | 
|  |  | 
|  | add crazy vector instructions (MVI): | 
|  |  | 
|  | (MIN|MAX)(U|S)(B8|W4) min and max, signed and unsigned, byte and word | 
|  | PKWB, UNPKBW pack/unpack word to byte | 
|  | PKLB UNPKBL pack/unpack long to byte | 
|  | PERR pixel error (sum across bytes of bytewise abs(i8v8 a - i8v8 b)) | 
|  |  | 
|  | cmpbytes bytewise cmpeq of i8v8 a and i8v8 b (not part of MVI extensions) | 
|  |  | 
|  | this has some good examples for other operations that can be synthesised well | 
|  | from these rather meager vector ops (such as saturating add). |
