关于__builtin_expect

关于__builtin_expect

先上代码

 #include <stdio.h>
 
 #define likely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 1)
 #define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)
 
 int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
     int count = 10;
     if (likely(count > 1))
         printf("It is ok\n");
     else
         printf("It isn't ok\n");
 
     int tmp = !!5;
     printf("tmp = %d\n", tmp);
 
     tmp = !!0;
     printf("tmp = %d\n", tmp);
     return 0;
 }

再上输出结果

It is ok
tmp = 1
tmp = 0

结论

1. __builtin_expect是gcc提供的，目的是为了优化代码
2. __builtin_expect(Exp, N)，意思是Exp == N的概率很大
3. !!的写法，是为了确保最后表达式的值 = 0 or 1
