Intrinsic

Architecture

_mm_mwait

SSE3

Header file <intrin.h>

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 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.
