I'll leave that to the people who maintain it. Sometimes intermittent
glitches happen. And please don't top-post.
I've attached v12 which is just a rebase over the new centralized
feature detection. I also have some review:
+# Check if the compiler supports AVX2 target attribute.
+# This is used for optimized checksum calculations with runtime detection.
It could possibly be used for other things, in which case this will
get out of date. It's most reliable to grep for the symbol to see
where something is used.
Also, the first statement is not true:
+[AC_COMPILE_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([#include <stdint.h>
+ #if defined(__has_attribute) && __has_attribute (target)
+ __attribute__((target("avx2")))
+ static int avx2_test(void)
+ {
+ return 0;
+ }
+ #endif],
With these guards, I think any compiler will pass the test, and CI
does show it passes on MSVC:
[01:09:52.888] Checking if "AVX2 support" links: YES
The consequence is that two functions get built with identical
non-AVX2 contents. Then at runtime we pick one of them, but it doesn't
matter which. This needs to test what it says it's testing.
