Hello, look at this example(https://godbolt.org/z/TnGMsfMs6): ``` auto foo(const char *p) { const auto substr = _mm_loadu_si128((const __m128i *)p); return _mm_cmplt_epi8(substr, _mm_set1_epi8('0')); } ``` and to the generated asm: ``` 1: foo(char const*): 2: movdqu xmm0, XMMWORD PTR [rdi] 3: pxor xmm1, xmm1 4: pcmpgtb xmm0, XMMWORD PTR .LC0[rip] 5: pcmpeqb xmm0, xmm1 6: ret ``` look at line 5. is there any reason for `pcmpeqb` instruction? just for info, clang's output(https://godbolt.org/z/MPnvEMdhr): ``` 1: foo(char const*): 2: movdqu xmm1, xmmword ptr [rdi] 3: movdqa xmm0, xmmword ptr [rip + .LCPI0_0] 4: pcmpgtb xmm0, xmm1 5: ret ``` best!
