x86 also has a kind of specialized (or limited, if you like) fused add and multiply instruction that is used a lot: lea, or load effective address. It's really a fused shift and add, or two fused additions if you prefer. The extent to which this instruction appears in real compiled code should stand as proof for how useful a fused instruction is. |
