Bugs item #788672, was opened at 2003-08-14 22:20 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by the_saracen You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102435&aid=788672&group_id=2435 Category: binutils Group: Feature requests Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: The~SARACEN (the_saracen) Assigned to: Danny Smith (dannysmith) Summary: Update as.exe to support XMMWORD? Initial Comment: Thank you for finally updating MinGW GCC to a point where it supports SSE2 (even if - realistically - only P4's and a few Celerons support it). However, this is kind of negated by the fact that the current MinGW BinUtils (2.14.90 if I'm not mistaken) doesn't understand what an XMMWORD is. The only way I have been able to compile SSE instructions on GCC 3.2 was to hex-edit g++.exe (and possibly a few others, can't quite remember) to replace "XMMWORD" with "XWORD" (which did not seem to be affected by the fact that XWORDS are only 96 bits wide...??). If I'm missing something blindingly obvious then feel free to slap me, but I just thought this was worth bringing to someone's attention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: The~SARACEN (the_saracen) Date: 2003-09-16 02:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=776871 No, they didn't - as I said, I had to hack the compilers to say XWORD instead. Just figured this should be caught before BinUtils goes final ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2003-09-16 01:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=15438 Did previous versions of binutils understand your XMMWORD?
