2 // DARN requires POWER9/ISA 3.0.
3
4 // At the moment only GCC 7.0 (and above) seems to support __builtin_darn()
5 // and __builtin_darn_32(). However, GCC generates incorrect code. Clang 7.0
6 // does not provide them, but it does support assembly instructions. XLC is
7 // unknown, but there are no hits when searching IBM's site. To cover more
8 // platforms we provide GCC inline assembly like we do with RDRAND and RDSEED.
9 // Platforms that don't support GCC inline assembly or the builtin will fail
10 // to compile. Also see https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91481 and
