The following patch provides builtin support for byte swapping and bit counting.
On suitable hardware, these generate the x86 popcount instructions, as also
generated by the SUN HotSpot JIT/JVM for these method calls.
java.lang.Integer.bitCount -> __builtin_popcount
java.lang.Long.bitCount -> __builtin_popcountl
java.lang.Short.reverseBytes -> __builtin_bswap16
java.lang.Integer.reverseBytes -> __builtin_bswap32
java.lang.Long.reverseBytes -> __builtin_bswap64
New test cases have been added to libjava to double check nothing breaks.
Whist I was there I noticed that the math builtins (many of which I added support for
back in 2003/2004) weren't marked as ECF_LEAF, indicating that they don't/can't
invoke any user specified functions. This has also been fixed in the patch below.
The following patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with a full make bootstrap
and make check with no new failures/regressions.
Ok for stage1 once it reopens?
Cheers,
Roger

gcc/java:
* builtins.c (java_builtins): Use popcount* and bswap* builtins to
implement bitCount() and reverseBytes() methods in java.lang.Integer
and friends.
(initialize_builtins): Annotate math builtins with ECF_LEAF. Call
define_builtin for the new popcount* and bswap* builtins.
libjava:
* testsuite/libjava.lang/BuiltinBitCount.java: New test case.
* testsuite/libjava.lang/BuiltinReverseBytes.java: Likewise.
