Is it true that this doesn’t work (in either branch)?float4 a,b; static if (__traits(compiles, a/b)) c = a / b; else c[] = a[] / b[]; I tried it with 4 x 64-bit ulongs in a 256-bit vector instead.Hoping I have done things correctly, I got an error message about requiring a destination variable as in c = a op b where I tried simply "return a / b;" In the else branch, I got a type conversion error. Is that because a[] is an array of 256-bit vectors, in the else case, not an array of ulongs?
Correction I should have written ‘always work’ - I just copied the example straight from the language documentation for simd and adapted it to use ulongs and a wider vector.
I was using GDC.
