Replace inline asm with compiler-builtin intrinsic functions

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      As noted in MDEV-20377, inline assembler will cause MemorySanitizer to report false positives for uninitialized values. It would be more portable to use the compiler built-in functions not only on Windows, but on all platforms.

      Here is a crude patch for WolfSSL:

               return (ok) ? 0 : -1;
           }
       
      

      and another for InnoDB:

      Both these patches will require some compiler switches to enable the instructions to be emitted. For clang 8.0.1, -march=native did the trick for me, but that is obviously unacceptable. According to diagnostic messages from the compiler, the features might be called "rdseed" and "SSE 4.2".
