</dl>

<p>Here is an example:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#ifdef __BUILTIN_CPU_SUPPORTS__
  if (__builtin_cpu_supports (&quot;fpu&quot;))
    {
       asm(&quot;fadd %0,%1,%2&quot; : &quot;=d&quot;(dst) : &quot;d&quot;(src1), &quot;d&quot;(src2));
    }
  else
#endif
    {
       dst = __fadd (src1, src2); // Software FP addition function.
    }
</pre></div>
</dd></dl>

<p>The following built-in functions are also available on all PowerPC
processors:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">uint64_t __builtin_ppc_get_timebase ();
unsigned long __builtin_ppc_mftb ();
double __builtin_unpack_ibm128 (__ibm128, int);
__ibm128 __builtin_pack_ibm128 (double, double);
double __builtin_mffs (void);
void __builtin_mtfsf (const int, double);
void __builtin_mtfsb0 (const int);
void __builtin_mtfsb1 (const int);
void __builtin_set_fpscr_rn (int);
</pre></div>

<p>The <code>__builtin_ppc_get_timebase</code> and <code>__builtin_ppc_mftb</code>
functions generate instructions to read the Time Base Register.  The
<code>__builtin_ppc_get_timebase</code> function may generate multiple
instructions and always returns the 64 bits of the Time Base Register.
The <code>__builtin_ppc_mftb</code> function always generates one instruction and
returns the Time Base Register value as an unsigned long, throwing away
the most significant word on 32-bit environments.  The <code>__builtin_mffs</code>
return the value of the FPSCR register.  Note, ISA 3.0 supports the
<code>__builtin_mffsl()</code> which permits software to read the control and
non-sticky status bits in the FSPCR without the higher latency associated with
accessing the sticky status bits.  The <code>__builtin_mtfsf</code> takes a constant
8-bit integer field mask and a double precision floating point argument
and generates the <code>mtfsf</code> (extended mnemonic) instruction to write new
values to selected fields of the FPSCR.  The
<code>__builtin_mtfsb0</code> and <code>__builtin_mtfsb1</code> take the bit to change
as an argument.  The valid bit range is between 0 and 31.  The builtins map to
the <code>mtfsb0</code> and <code>mtfsb1</code> instructions which take the argument and
add 32.  Hence these instructions only modify the FPSCR[32:63] bits by
changing the specified bit to a zero or one respectively.  The
<code>__builtin_set_fpscr_rn</code> builtin allows changing both of the floating
point rounding mode bits.  The argument is a 2-bit value.  The argument can
either be a <code>const int</code> or stored in a variable. The builtin uses
the ISA 3.0
instruction <code>mffscrn</code> if available, otherwise it reads the FPSCR, masks
the current rounding mode bits out and OR&rsquo;s in the new value.
