From bd523948876f801b7f1b909f399b2cc41acf06cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Naylor Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2022 11:07:40 +0700 Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] Support SSE2 intrinsics where available SSE2 vector instructions are part of the spec for the 64-bit x86 architecture. Until now we have relied on the compiler to autovectorize in some limited situations, but some useful coding idioms can only be expressed explicitly via compiler intrinsics. To this end, add a header that defines USE_SSE2 when available. While x86-only for now, we can add other architectures in the future. This will also be the intended place for low-level hepler functions that use vector operations.
