Looks good to me. Especially the decrease of the lines of code. By the way, fallbacks may need to be tweaked a bit to be sure that really the fastest code is selected. For example, after the introduction of faster fetchers [1], now the performance of 'over_8888_8888' operation (translucent case) with the nearest scaling of the source image from 2000x2000 to approximately same size looks like this: C fetcher + C combiner: ~76.71 MPix/s C fast path: ~106.47 MPix/s C fetcher + SSE2 combiner: ~182.65 MPix/s SSE2 fast path: ~270.57 MPix/s The important part is that "C fetcher + SSE2 combiner" is now faster than full "C fast path", which performs everything in a single pass, but without SSE2. So when SSE2 combiners are available, it makes sense to deactivate nearest scaling C fast paths for OVER operator. Not everything is so simple though, because this C fast path has special processing for fully transparent or opaque pixels, and may in some cases be actually better. But it is clearly slower if the performance of the worst case is important. Something similar may apply to PPC Altivec optimizations. Because there are only Altivec combiners but not full Altivec fast paths, the existing C fast paths will be executed for some compositing operations, preventing the use of Altivec combiners. 1. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman/commit/?id=536cf4dd3bd144ad -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka _______________________________________________ Pixman mailing list Pixman@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pixman
