I have added 2 missing intrinsics _cvtss_sh and _mm_cvtps_ph to the intrinsics header f16intrin.h.
GCC has these intrinsics in f16cintrin.h. Here is the definition:
extern __inline float __attribute__((__gnu_inline__, __always_inline__, __artificial__)) _cvtsh_ss (unsigned short __S) { __v8hi __H = __extension__ (__v8hi){ __S, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; __v4sf __A = __builtin_ia32_vcvtph2ps (__H); return __builtin_ia32_vec_ext_v4sf (__A, 0); `} #ifdef __OPTIMIZE__ extern __inline unsigned short __attribute__((__gnu_inline__, __always_inline__, __artificial__)) _cvtss_sh (float __F, const int __I) { __v4sf __A = __extension__ (__v4sf){ __F, 0, 0, 0 }; __v8hi __H = __builtin_ia32_vcvtps2ph (__A, __I); return (unsigned short) __builtin_ia32_vec_ext_v8hi (__H, 0); `} #else #define _cvtss_sh(__F, __I) \ (__extension__ \ ({ \ __v4sf __A = __extension__ (__v4sf){ __F, 0, 0, 0 }; \ __v8hi __H = __builtin_ia32_vcvtps2ph (__A, __I); \ (unsigned short) __builtin_ia32_vec_ext_v8hi (__H, 0); \ })) #endif /* __OPTIMIZE */
Intel's documentation expects _cvtsh_ss to have 2 parameters (instead of one)
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/524287
but most likely the documentation is wrong, because Intel’s' headers contain these intrinsic prototypes in emmintrin.h
extern float __ICL_INTRINCC _cvtsh_ss(unsigned short); extern unsigned short __ICL_INTRINCC _cvtss_sh(float, int);
BTW, emmintrin.h includes f16cintrin.h, so it should be OK to place these 2 intrinsics in f16cintrin.h. This should satisfy both Intel's and GCC's expectations.
Clang generates the following IR for cvtsh_ss (see below). In the test I simply checked that the builtin @llvm.x86.vcvtph2ps.128 is generated for _cvtsh_ss. I was afraid that checks for initialization of the vector 'v' might be too lengthy and the IR is prone to change frequently, so I didn't add these checks. However, if you think that this is important and it won't create too much headache because IR will keep changing over time, I could certainly add them.
The same goes for test_cvtss_sh.
static __inline float __DEFAULT_FN_ATTRS cvtsh_ss(unsigned short a) { __v8hi v = {(short)a, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}; __v4sf r = __builtin_ia32_vcvtph2ps(v); return r[0]; }
