Hello,
thanks to all who've replied to this discussion!
Taking into account what was said above, I've decided to target
pure
ANSI C, i.e. C without newer constructs like // comments and
other
stuff from newer standards. I don't want to use C99 because it
isn't
supported by MSVC (de facto standard under Windows).
I think that I'll make exception for static inlines because they can
be easily turned on/off with just one #define. Another exception - I
want to make use of SSE intrinsics (if they are provided by compiler),
but slower ANSI C equivalent will be provided so one #define - and
everything will be ANSI.
It would be great if you could check your code with the Sun Studio compiler,
which you can get for free for Linux or Solaris.
Sage builds on Solaris systems with SPARC processors. These will never have SSE
instructions, as the processor is completely different to Intel/AMD. You can
check if the system has a sparc processor by detecting if __sparc__ is defined.
In which case, you can immediately rule out there being SSE instructions of any
sort.
