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: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2004-02-15 02:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=15438 This belongs on the binutils bug tracker. May even be fixed already AFAIK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2003-09-15 13:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=15438 Then, no, it is not a complaint as far as decisions of production ready go.

Just figured this should be caught before BinUtils goes final ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2003-09-15 11:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=15438 Did previous versions of binutils understand your XMMWORD?
