Builtin functions of GCC compiler in C++
In the GCC compiler there are some builtin functions. These functions are like below.
Function _builtin_popcount(x)
This builtin function is used to count the number of 1s in an integer type data. Let us see an example of _builtin_popcount() function.
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int n = 13; //The binary is 1101
cout << "Count of 1s in binary of "<< n <<" is " << __builtin_popcount(n);
return 0;
}Output
Count of 1s in binary of 13 is 3
Function _builtin_parity(x)
This builtin function is used to check the parity of a number. If the number has odd parity, it will return true, otherwise it will return false. Let us see an example of _builtin_parity() function.
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int n = 13; //The binary is 1101
cout << "Parity of "<< n <<" is " << __builtin_parity(n);
return 0;
}Output
Parity of 13 is 1
Function _builtin_clz(x)
This builtin function is used to count the leading zeros of an integer. The clz stands for Count Leading Zeros. Let us see an example of _builtin_clz() function.
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int n = 13; //The binary is 1101
//0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1101 (32bit integer )
cout << "Leading zero count of "<< n <<" is " << __builtin_clz(n);
return 0;
}Output
Leading zero count of 13 is 28
Function _builtin_ctz(x)
This builtin function is used to count the trailing zeros of an integer. The ctz stands for Count Trailing Zeros. Let us see an example of _builtin_ctz() function.
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int n = 12; //The binary is 1100
//0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1100 (32bit integer )
cout << "Trailing zero count of "<< n <<" is " << __builtin_ctz(n);
return 0;
}Output
Trailing zero count of 12 is 2
