5.50.11 SPU Built-in Functions

GCC provides extensions for the SPU processor as described in the Sony/Toshiba/IBM SPU Language Extensions Specification, which can be found at http://cell.scei.co.jp/ or http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/power/cell/. GCC's implementation differs in several ways.

Note: Only the interface described in the aforementioned specification is supported. Internally, GCC uses built-in functions to implement the required functionality, but these are not supported and are subject to change without notice.
