No collaboration? Hmm.. so connecting with Peter and getting him started again all took place in my head?

You really need to take your trolling...

LOL. In any case, Qt already had patches ready to use the new functionality. See https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/290626...

21 P1 bugs is nothing. I often build Qt and Chromium with prerelease versions of gcc, much earlier than this....

Of the ones that ship with compilers.....

[carewolf]

No the point was switching at runtime, not at compile time....

[carewolf]

Not to mention that libc++ is the most primitive of the standard libraries, not even having completed c++17....

[carewolf]

Comment trees was a more elegant technology from a simpler time. I don't see it returning unfortunately.....

[carewolf]

That's the same as a SSE4.2 cutoff. And would work on all currently produced mainstream processors....

Was about to ask why anybody would still be using 32bit systems in 20 years, then I realized I had asked the very same thing 20 years ago

[carewolf]

So, the fact that Intel still makes processors without AVX still hasn't gotten through to them?

[carewolf]

That is a bit off-topic.. memcpy and other internal routines are not the optimizations were are talking about. glibc already optimizes those much more...

[carewolf]

No it won't. It just won't speed up as much. Note this isn't just AVX2, it also include SSSE3 and SSE4.1 both of which gives much bigger benefits to automatically...

[carewolf]

It was also a trivial fix. It was just removing a check for the CPU being Intel. It was just blocked by a few obstinate developers insisting we couldn't...

[carewolf]

You are thinking of the CPUID instruction which as you say does a lot more than just report the ID of the CPU (the "CPUID"). I assumed the person...

[carewolf]

What does what the processor supports have to do with its unique identifier? We are not talking about fingerprinting the CPU, but a specific unique f...

If you can go by previous behvavior. Sony will fork it, fuck it up, and require anyone working with it to sign an NDA forbidding them to talk about and...

It would be better to go the other way and have API to load ELF modules in windows-applications. In any case a cross-platform plugin format is welcom...
