Header for _blsr_u64 with Sun supplied GCC on Solaris 11? - c++

Question

We've got some code that runs on multiple platforms. The code uses BMI/BMI2 intrinsics when available, like a Core i7 5th gen. GCC supplied by Sun on Solaris 11.3 is defining __BMI__ and __BMI2__, but its having trouble locating BMI/BMI2 intrinsics:
$ cat test.cxx
#include <x86intrin.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
unsigned long long t = argc;
#if defined(__BMI__) || defined(__BMI2__)
t = _blsr_u64(t);
#endif
return int(t);
}
$ /bin/g++ -march=native test.cxx -o test.exe
test.cxx: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
test.cxx:6:18: error: ‘_blsr_u64’ was not declared in this scope
t = _blsr_u64(t);
^
Including immintrin.h does not make a difference.
Which header do we include for _blsr_u64 when using GCC on Solaris 11.3?
Here are the relevant defines from GCC:
$ /bin/g++ -march=native -dM -E - < /dev/null | sort | \
/usr/gnu/bin/egrep -i '(sse|aes|rdrnd|rdseed|avx|bmi)'
#define __AES__ 1
#define __AVX__ 1
#define __AVX2__ 1
#define __BMI__ 1
#define __BMI2__ 1
#define __core_avx2 1
#define __core_avx2__ 1
#define __RDRND__ 1
#define __RDSEED__ 1
#define __SSE__ 1
#define __SSE2__ 1
#define __SSE3__ 1
#define __SSE4_1__ 1
#define __SSE4_2__ 1
#define __SSSE3__ 1
#define __tune_core_avx2__ 1
And CPU features:
$ isainfo -v

It looks like #include <x86intrin.h> is correct.
The problem was the compiler invocation required both -march=native -m64 even though 64-bit is native for the machine and the kernel is 64-bit:
$ /bin/g++ -march=native -m64 test.cxx -o test.exe
