This is a known issue, unfixed for 25 years!

For 64bit values on 32bit it is probably better to do: int p32(unsigned long long x) { unsigned int lo = x; lo ^= x >> 32; lo ^= lo >> 16; lo ^= lo >> 8; lo ^= lo >> 4; return (0x6996 >> (lo & 0xf)) & 1; } That stops the compiler doing 64bit shifts (ok on x86, but probably not elsewhere). It is likely to be reasonably optimal for most 64bit cpu as well. (For x86-64 it probably removes a load of REX prefix.) (It adds an extra instruction to arm because if its barrel shifter.) > > > Even the 64bit version is probably sub-optimal (both gcc and clang). > > The whole lot ends up being a bit single register dependency chain. > > You want to do: > > No, I don't.

I wasn't seriously considering doing that optimisation. Perhaps just hoping is might make a compiler person think :-) David > > Do you have any perf test? > > Thanks, > Yury
