sse2zig

x86 SSE intrinsics mapped to Zig vector extensions.

Currently, most integer intrinsics are implemented (but not tested) up through AVX2.
Most floating-point intrinsics from SSE4.1 and below are implemented (but not tested).
SSE4.2 string instructions are not yet implemented.

There are no plans to implement the following:

  • Floating-point MXCSR: get exceptions, set rounding mode, etc.
  • Non-temporal memory ops: _mm_maskmoveu_si128, _mm_stream_load_si128, _mm_clflush, etc.
  • MMX: any intrinsics referencing the __m64 data type.
  • Over-aligned allocator: _mm_malloc/_mm_free.

Optional assembly statements are provided for many intrinsics. They are enabled by default.

Use of assembly statements can be controlled in the root source file:
pub const sse2zig_useAsm = false;

Warning:

  • Big-endian architectures won't work.
  • Using SSE4.1 intrinsics in a build targeting SSE2 will result in slow emulation code.
