llvm dev - Dec 2009 - [LLVMdev] LLVM intrinsic for SSE ANDPS instruction

Hi,

   LLVM is used to have an llvm.x86.and_ps instrinsic for the ANDPS
instruction, but it seems to be gone, and it is a bit hard to
synthetize it from vector instructions, since 'and' only works on
vectors of
integer types. Would a patch be accepted which adds this and related
instructions back ?

No. It won't be. Why not just generate a llvm and instruction?

Hi,

  The arguments to the 'and' instruction must be integer types or
vectors of
integer types. If
I have a compiler whose source language has support for andps by having its
own intrinsics,
then I would have to generate code to convert the float vector into an int
vector before passing
it to llvm's and instruction, then convert the result back.
