Am I going mad, or does this just return the contents of the memory location * 2.
ldaddal w0, w0, [x1]
Returns the original contents of [x1] in w0.
add w2, w0, w0
doubles it.
mov w0, w2
returns it.
I think __sync_add_and_fetch should return the updated contents.
Here is the test C code again.
int add_int(int add_value, int *dest) { return __sync_add_and_fetch(dest, add_value); }
Hmm, it is not the code I get with our latest release candidate (the release should be out next week), it gives the code:
add_int: ldaddal w0, w3, [x1] add w2, w3, w0 mov w0, w2 ret
