<h4 class="subsection">6.58.24 SH Built-in Functions</h4>
<p>The following built-in functions are supported on the SH1, SH2, SH3 and SH4
families of processors:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-_005f_005fbuiltin_005fset_005fthread_005fpointer"></a>Built-in Function: <em>void</em> <strong>__builtin_set_thread_pointer</strong> <em>(void *<var>ptr</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Sets the &lsquo;<samp>GBR</samp>&rsquo; register to the specified value <var>ptr</var>.  This is usually
used by system code that manages threads and execution contexts.  The compiler
normally does not generate code that modifies the contents of &lsquo;<samp>GBR</samp>&rsquo; and
thus the value is preserved across function calls.  Changing the &lsquo;<samp>GBR</samp>&rsquo;
value in user code must be done with caution, since the compiler might use
&lsquo;<samp>GBR</samp>&rsquo; in order to access thread local variables.
</p>
</dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-_005f_005fbuiltin_005fthread_005fpointer"></a>Built-in Function: <em>void *</em> <strong>__builtin_thread_pointer</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns the value that is currently set in the &lsquo;<samp>GBR</samp>&rsquo; register.
Memory loads and stores that use the thread pointer as a base address are
turned into &lsquo;<samp>GBR</samp>&rsquo; based displacement loads and stores, if possible.
For example:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">struct my_tcb
{
   int a, b, c, d, e;
};

int get_tcb_value (void)
{
  // Generate &lsquo;<samp>mov.l @(8,gbr),r0</samp>&rsquo; instruction
  return ((my_tcb*)__builtin_thread_pointer ())-&gt;c;
}

</pre></div>
</dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-_005f_005fbuiltin_005fsh_005fget_005ffpscr"></a>Built-in Function: <em>unsigned int</em> <strong>__builtin_sh_get_fpscr</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns the value that is currently set in the &lsquo;<samp>FPSCR</samp>&rsquo; register.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-_005f_005fbuiltin_005fsh_005fset_005ffpscr"></a>Built-in Function: <em>void</em> <strong>__builtin_sh_set_fpscr</strong> <em>(unsigned int <var>val</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Sets the &lsquo;<samp>FPSCR</samp>&rsquo; register to the specified value <var>val</var>, while
preserving the current values of the FR, SZ and PR bits.
</p></dd></dl>
