The 64-bit integer math intrinsics and other intrinsic

problems could be solved easily for ever:

 

  1. Putting all .OBJ files together from LIBCMT.H or INT64.LIB (for ll*.obj and ull*.obj only)

ltod3.obj

ftol2.obj

lldiv.obj

lldvrm.obj

llmul.obj

llrem.obj

llshl.obj

llshr.obj

ulldiv.obj

ulldvrm.obj

ullrem.obj

ullshr.obj

memcmp.obj

memcpycpy.obj

                and adjust for usability in EDK2 (remove / solve further internal dependencies or rewrite “*cpy” and “*cmp” functions)

This is already done in IntrinsicLib.lib for some of the above functions, just complete this task!

  1. Put all the .OBJ into a e.g. edk2\Conf \“MSFTINTRINx86-32<compilerversion>.lib”
  2. Update the MSFT_DEF.txt tool chain definition path

DEBUG_*_IA32_DLINK_FLAGS     = %CONF_PATH%\ MSFTINTRINx86-32<compilerversion>.lib

RELEASE_*_IA32_DLINK_FLAGS   = %CONF_PATH%\ MSFTINTRINx86-32<compilerversion>.lib

  1. Resolve build conflicts with other existing intrinsic libraries from CryptoPkg, RedfishPkg… – remove these libraries

 

From now on all existing 32Bit components have access to their own compiler intrinsics without

touching any .INF file and the problem is instantly gone.

 

Please do the same for

 

Leave the intrinsic restrictions behind and just provide all required intrinsics the compiler needs

to fulfil the C-Standard!

 

UEFI shall conform the execution environment described in the C Specification

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf#page=23

and shall not try to create a new restricted “UEFI execution environment”

that currently prohibits some “expressions” (shift << >> , divide / % ) on some “data types” (64bit “long long”)

but maybe in the future will prohibit some more “expressions” (logical AND &&, relational-expression < >) on

still speculative “data types” (e.g. a 128bit “extended long”) or just because a new compiler

(version) with some new optimization(ultra slow)/security(specdown/meltre) capabilities introduces

some new intrinsic functions.

Who knows…

 

In contrast to:

“I think we shouldn't add any intrinsics unless we are absolutely forced

to. I do agree however that, for those intrinsics that we cannot at all

avoid reimplementing, we should at least collect them in a common

library.

(In theory, I can also imagine reimplementing all possible intrinsics

*if* the edk2 coding style spec / requirements are updated in parallel,

permitting all new code to universally rely on the intrinsics, rather

than the BaseLib / BaseMemoryLib functions.)”

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1516#c2

 

This mindset violates edk2 coding style spec too:

Have fun,

Sean and Bret may be able to help with these.

There is also a BZ on this topic.
