[Mesa3d-dev] Compiling Mesa with VectorC

[Andrew R. <a.r...@co...>]

I am the head programmer at CodePlay Limited, a company that is
developing a C compiler for PCs that is able to  vectorize standard C
code to take advantage of MMX, 3DNow! and Streaming SIMD Extensions. I
would like to  update Mesa to help VectorC take full advantage of these
processor features. This requires adding a few "hints"  and "restrict"s
in the source code. These can be done with #defines so as not to affect
other compilers.

I would like some advice - which parts of Mesa would benefit from MMX,
3DNow! and SSE? I have  tried running VTune on Mesa and failed to get it
to work. How do other Windows developers profile Mesa?
