TMS320C6000 C Compiler: C Implementation of Intrinsics

The first optimization step that you can perform on C source code for the TMS320C62xx is to use intrinsic operators. Intrinsics are used like functions and produce assembly language statements that would otherwise be inexpressible in C. The problem is that once you have performed the first optimization step, your C source code is no longer ANSI C compatible. The code proposed within this application report allows you to write C code using intrinsic operators keeping the possibility to validate the code on a workstation (either SUN or PC).
