We have some packages like flac that are aware of vectorization that may or may not exist on a given processor. I was wondering if adding something like TARGET_VECTOR similar to TARGET_FPU made sense as a way for recipes to decide on how to set various vectorization flags if needed.
I was looking at this mostly from the PPC side in which we have: TARGET_VECTOR = "" /* processor has no vector hw */ TARGET_VECTOR = "altivec" /* processor has AltiVec support */ TARGET_VECTOR = "spe" /* processor has signal processing engine support */ TARGET_VECTOR = "vsx" /* processor has Vector-Scalar Extension */ Not sure what makes sense for x86, ARM, or MIPS. - k _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
