intrinsics fmuladdf{32,64}: expose llvm.fmuladd.* semantics

Add intrinsics `fmuladd{f32,f64}`. This computes `(a * b) + c`, to be fused if the code generator determines that (i) the target instruction set has support for a fused operation, and (ii) that the fused operation is more efficient than the equivalent, separate pair of `mul` and `add` instructions.

https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-fmuladd-intrinsic

The codegen_cranelift uses the `fma` function from libc, which is a correct implementation, but without the desired performance semantic. I think this requires an update to cranelift to expose a suitable instruction in its IR.

I have not tested with codegen_gcc, but it should behave the same way (using `fma` from libc).

This topic has been discussed a few times on Zulip and was suggested, for example, by `@workingjubilee` in [Effect of fma disabled](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/Effect.20of.20fma.20disabled/near/274179331).

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).

Quick Start

Read “Installation” from The Book.

Installing from Source

If you really want to install from source (though this is not recommended), see INSTALL.md.
