Using Intrinsics to Access Assembly Language Statements

The C28x compiler recognizes a number of intrinsic operators. Intrinsics allow you to express the meaning of certain assembly statements that would otherwise be cumbersome or inexpressible in C/C++. Intrinsics are used like functions; you can use C/C++ variables with these intrinsics, just as you would with any normal function.

The intrinsics are specified with a leading double underscore, and are accessed by calling them as you do a function. For example:

long lvar;
int  ivar;
unsigned int uivar;
lvar = __mpyxu(ivar, uivar);

The intrinsics listed in Table 8-6 are available. They correspond to the indicated TMS320C28x assembly language instruction(s). See the TMS320C28x CPU and Instruction Set Reference Guide for more information.

Table 7-6 TMS320C28x C/C++ Compiler Intrinsics
Intrinsic Assembly Instruction(s) Description
int __abs16_sat( int src ); SETC OVM

MOV AH, src

ABS ACC

MOV dst, AH

CLRC OVM

Clear the OVM status bit. Load src into AH. Take absolute value of ACC. Store AH into dst. Clear the OVM status bit.
void __add( int *m, int b ); ADD * m , b Add the contents of memory location m to b and store the result in m, in an atomic way.
long __addcu( long src1, unsigned int src2 ); ADDCU ACC, {mem | reg} The contents of src2 and the value of the carry bit are added to ACC. The result is in ACC.
void __addl( long *m, long b ); ADDL *m, b Add the contents of memory location m to b and store the result in m, in an atomic way.
void __and( int *m, int b ); AND * m, b AND the contents of memory location m to b and store the result in m, in an atomic way.
int &__byte( int *array, unsigned int byte_index); MOVB array [byte_index].LSB, src

or

MOVB dst, array [byte_index ].LSB

The lowest addressable unit in C28x is 16 bits. Therefore, normally you cannot access 8-bit entities off a memory location. This intrinsic helps access an 8-bit quantity off a memory location, and can be invoked as follows:
__byte(array,5) = 10;
 b = __byte(array,20);
unsigned long &y __byte_peripheral_32(unsigned long *x); Used to access a 32-bit byte peripheral data address without the access being broken in half. The intrinsic returns a reference to an unsigned long and can be used both to read and write data. See Section 7.16.7.
void __dec( int *m ); DEC * m Decrement the contents of memory location m in an atomic way.
unsigned int __disable_interrupts( ); PUSH ST1
SETC INTM, DBGM
POP reg16
Disable interrupts and return the old value of the interrupt vector.
void __dmac( long *src1, long *src2, long &accum1, long &accum2, int shift); SPMn ; the PM value required for shift
MOVL ACC,accum1
MOVL P, accum2
MOVL XARx, src1
MOVL XAR7, src2
DMAC ACC:P, *XARx++, *XAR7++
Set the required PM value for shift.
Move accum1 and accum2 into ACC and P.
Move the addresses src1 and src2 into XARx and XAR7.
ACC = ACC + (src1[i+1] * src2[i+1]) << PM
P = P + (src1[i] * src2[i]) << PM
See Section 4.16.3 for more information.

uint64_t __f64_bits_as_u64( double src ); -- Extracts the bits in a double as a 64-bit register. This intrinsic generates no code; it tells the compiler to change how it interprets the bits in place. See Section 8.7.1 for examples.

void __inc( int *m ); INC *m Increment the contents of memory location m in an atomic way.
long=__IQ( long double A , int N ); Convert the long double A into the correct IQN value returned as a long type. If both arguments are constants the compiler converts the arguments to the IQ value during compile time. Otherwise a call to the RTS routine, __IQ, is made. This intrinsic cannot be used to initialize global variables to the .cinit section.
long dst =__IQmpy( long A, long B , int N ); Perform optimized multiplication using the C28 IQmath library. The dst becomes ACC or P, A becomes XT:
If   N == 0: IMPYL {ACC|P}, XT, B The dst is ACC or P. If dst is ACC, the instruction takes 2 cycles. If dst is P, the instruction takes 1 cycle.
If    0 < N < 16: IMPYL P, XT, B

MOVL XAR n, # 22bits
MINL ACC, XAR n
MOVL XAR n, # 22bits

MOVB AX.LSB,*XARx[ {AR0|AR1} ]
