//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
The code generated for bswap on armv4/5 (CPUs without rev) is less than ideal:
int a(int x) { return __builtin_bswap32(x); }
a:
mov r1, #255, 24
mov r2, #255, 16
and r1, r1, r0, lsr #8
and r2, r2, r0, lsl #8
orr r1, r1, r0, lsr #24
orr r0, r2, r0, lsl #24
orr r0, r0, r1
bx lr
Something like the following would be better (fewer instructions/registers):
eor r1, r0, r0, ror #16
bic r1, r1, #0xff0000
mov r1, r1, lsr #8
eor r0, r1, r0, ror #8
bx lr
A custom Thumb version would also be a slight improvement over the generic
version.
