[SOLVED] Unrecognized Opcodes
« on: July 31, 2014, 10:08:32 am »
Hi all,

I am using Lazarus 1.2.4 with FPC 2.6.4 under Windows 7/64bit on a Core i5 430M @2,27GHz.

There are the very nifty ADCX / ADOX opcodes which the internal assmbler does not seem to know.

Code: [Select]
  @Loop1:

    align   4
    mov     RAX, qword ptr [RSI+8*RDX];   // Get next limb
    adcx    RAX, qword ptr [RBX+8*RDX];   // Add and only affect CF
    mov     qword ptr [RDI+8*RDX], RAX;   // Store the result

The above throws

Code: [Select]
main.pas(480,5) Error: Unrecognized opcode ADCX

Is anybody around here who can comment on the following

* is it planned to integrate ADCX / ADOX opcode support to the internal assembler
* as I am aware that potentially nobody beside me wants to use these opcodes how are the chances if I raise a corresponding feature request for FPC

Thanks in advance

Regarding the seoncd issue: if these are valid opcodes, IMO there is no reason NOT to raise the bugtracker issue.

All I can say is that they are documented in 64-ia-32-architectures-software-developer-manual-325462 and belong to the category general purpose instructions ...

Don't post here, post on the bugtracker ;) <smiles> (& thanks!)

For limited usage of these missing opcodes, you might be able to do your tests with something like:
Code: [Select]
     //adcx    RAX, [RBX+8*RDX];   // Add and only affect CF
     db 066H db 048H db 00FH db 038H db 0F6H db 004H db 0D3H
I used Flat Assembler to get these numbers.

If you do write a bug report, please post a link to it here.

Stock Lazarus is 32-bit, are you sure you installed the 64-bit crosscompiler and selected it a 64-bit target, since that is 64-bit assembler?

The FASM hex looks strange, using the db66 escape prefix, which means that that instruction is not in native 64-bit mdoe?

The same instruction 32bit:
Code: [Select]
  //adcx    EAX, [EBX+8*EDX]
  db 066h db 00Fh db 038h db 0F6h db 004h db 0D3

Hmm, if I google a bit, seems that these are Broadwell instructions. These chips are only sampling at the moment, so this is very bleeding edge.

Seems trunk hasn't got them yet either.
