Built-in Functions
2012-2013 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002071C-page 301
G.2 BUILT-IN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
This section describes the programmer interface to the compiler built-in functions. Since the functions are
built in, there are no header files associated with them. Similarly, there are no command-line switches
associated with the built-in functions they are always available. The built-in function names are chosen
such that they belong to the compilers namespace (they all have the prefix __
builtin_), so they will not
conflict with function or variable names in the programmers namespace.
__builtin_addab
Description: Add accumulators A and B with the result written back to the specified accumulator. For
example:
volatile register int result asm("A");
volatile register int B asm("A");
result = __builtin_addab(result,B);
will generate:
add A
Prototype: int __builtin_addab(int Accum_a, int Accum_b);
Argument: Accum_a First accumulator to add.
Accum_b Second accumulator to add.
Return Value: Returns the addition result to an accumulator.
Assembler Operator/
Machine Instruction:
add
Error Messages An error message will be displayed if the result is not an accumulator register.
__builtin_add
Description: Add value to the accumulator specified by result with a shift specified by literal shift. For
example:
volatile register int result asm("A");
int value;
result = __builtin_add(result,value,0);
If value is held in w0, the following will be generated:
add w0, #0, A
Prototype: int __builtin_add(int Accum,int value,
const int shift);
Argument: Accum Accumulator to add.
value Integer number to add to accumulator value.
shift Amount to shift resultant accumulator value.
Return Value: Returns the shifted addition result to an accumulator.
Assembler Operator/
Machine Instruction:
add
Error Messages An error message will be displayed if:
the result is not an accumulator register
argument 0 is not an accumulator
the shift value is not a literal within range
