Is this still my code? IIRC I commented it extensively, but the structure is certainly non-intuitive. I'll take a look at it. At the time, I thought I wanted control logic that was impossible in C, but that may not be the case. It didn't occur to me that Linux and Apple would use different assemblers; elsewhere Apple uses the GNU tools. I'm also a bit surprised that people are using flac on an Altivecful Linux/PPC system (but I did attempt for such a system to fall back to the non-altivec C code). End digression. Can you point me to a good reference on altivec.h? -- Brady Patterson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) RLRR LRLL RLLR LRRL RRLR LLRL _______________________________________________ Flac-dev mailing list Flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
