These functions:
#include <xmmintrin.h>
__m128i a;
void x(unsigned short n) {
a = _mm_slli_epi32 (a, n);
}
void y(unsigned n) {
a = _mm_slli_epi32 (a, n);
}
compile to ( -O3 -static -fomit-frame-pointer):
_x:
movzwl 4(%esp), %eax
movd %eax, %xmm0
movaps _a, %xmm1
pslld %xmm0, %xmm1
movaps %xmm1, _a
ret
_y:
movd 4(%esp), %xmm0
movaps _a, %xmm1
pslld %xmm0, %xmm1
movaps %xmm1, _a
ret
"y" looks good, but "x" does silly movzwl stuff around into a GPR. It seems
like movd would be sufficient in both cases as the value is already zero
extended in the 32-bit stack slot IIRC. For signed short, it should also be
save, as a really-signed value would be undefined for pslld.
