GCC has the following function declarations built-in:
extern _Float128 _Complex __mulkc3 (_Float128, _Float128, _Float128, _Float128);
extern _Float128 _Complex __divkc3 (_Float128, _Float128, _Float128, _Float128);
Before the patch, _mulkc3.c looked like:
_Float128 _Complex
__mulkc3 (_Float128 a, _Float128 b, _Float128 c, _Float128 d)
{
// ...
}
Now, with ifunc handling it gets compiled in three separate files:
First in a file compiled with -mno-float128-hardware:
_Float128 _Complex
__mulkc3_sw (_Float128 a, _Float128 b, _Float128 c, _Float128 d)
{
// ...
}
Second in a file compiled with -mfloat128-hardware:
_Float128 _Complex
__mulkc3_hw (_Float128 a, _Float128 b, _Float128 c, _Float128 d)
{
// ...
}
And third as the ifunc handler:
#define SW_OR_HW(SW, HW) (__builtin_cpu_supports ("ieee128") ? HW : SW)
static __typeof__ (__mulkc3_sw) *
__mulkc3_resolve (void)
{
return SW_OR_HW (__mulkc3_sw, __mulkc3_hw);
}
_Float128 _Complex __mulkc3 (Float128, _Float128, _Float128, _Float128)
__attribute__ ((__ifunc__ ("__mulkc3_resolve")));
As Andreas points out, the option -Wmissing-prototypes complains if a global
function is compliled without prototypes for C/Objective C.
Before the patch, the internal definition within the compiler meant that that
__mulkc3 would not get the warning. Now with separate ifunc handlers, both
__mulkc3_sw and __mulkc3_hw got warnings.
