One minor comment below. Also the commit title needs rewording, since the current title is based on the changes from V1->V2 of your patch. I'd suggest something like: "build: check for broken AVX-512 compiler support" With fixed title: Acked-by: Bruce richardson <bruce.richard...@intel.com> > config/x86/meson.build | 13 +++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/config/x86/meson.build b/config/x86/meson.build > index b9348c44de..87b051cd2d 100644 > --- a/config/x86/meson.build > +++ b/config/x86/meson.build > @@ -10,6 +10,19 @@ if not is_windows > endif > endif > > +#check if compiler is working with _mm512_extracti64x4_epi64 > +#Ref https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82887 > +if cc.has_argument('-mavx512f') > + code = '''#include <immintrin.h> > + void test(__m512i zmm){ > + __m256i ymm = _mm512_extracti64x4_epi64(zmm, 0);}''' > + result = cc.compiles(code, args : '-mavx512f', name : 'avx512 checking') > + if result == false You can get rid of the "result" variable and just do if not cc.compiles(...)
