Microsoft Specific
Generates the mwait instruction.
void _mm_mwait(
unsigned int a,
unsigned int b,
);
Parameters
[in] a
The address of the beginning of a range.[in] b
The address of the end of a range.
Requirements
Intrinsic |
Architecture |
|---|---|
_mm_mwait |
SSE3 |
Header file <intrin.h>
Remarks
The mwait instruction is used with the monitor instruction to mark where the processor may wait for in implementation-specific event. The values of a and b are loaded into the ECX and EAX registers. For more information, see the Intel or AMD documentation as appropriate.
Note
Some chips support the SSE3 intrinsics but do not support _mm_mwait and _mm_monitor.You should use __cpuid, __cpuidex to determine whether this intrinsic is available.
This routine is available only as an intrinsic.
