Location of __mf() definition

[johnsonjthomas]

Hi,

I am porting TBB 2.2 to HPUX Itanium platform. I have a macro __TBB_rel_acq_fence (hardware fencing) which is defined as the mf instruction on IA64 platform.

By default __mf is defined in the file ia64intrin.h, but when I checked this file, it says
"Overloaded builtins have been ported to C++: nothing is needed in the header anymore.This file intentionally left void."

Can anybody tell me the location of the __mf() definition?

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Johnson

I am using aC++ compiler (eval version).In my previous post, I have assumed that __mf() is the intrinsic for the mf instruction on IA64. I dont know whether this is right.

Could anyone tell me whether is this right or wrong, or what is the equivalent aC++ intrinsic for mf instruction on IA64?

Thanks,
Johnson

How to use inline assembly is here:
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/site/dspp/menuitem.863c3e4cbcdc3f3515b49c108973a801/?ciid=4308e2f5bde02110e2f5bde02110275d6e10RCRD
void _Asm_mf([_Asm_fence]);

Where you can default the _Asm_fence arg.
You will need to do:
#include
