The svn head now supports all SSE3 insns except for monitor and mwait, in both 32- and 64-bit mode. Thanks to Matt Domsch for providing an SSE3 capable box to test on, and to Tom Hughes for the gen_insn_test.pl script which makes writing instruction tests very easy. If you use SSE3 instructions, you may want to check out the head and give this a test. Assuming there is no reported breakage I'll get this stuff into the next stable release (3.2.1). <uselessinfo>The JIT generates SSE2 instructions even when SSE3 code is fed in the front end. This means that you can use Valgrind to run SSE3 programs on an SSE2-only capable machine. Really.</uselessinfo> J |
