There are two things to note here: 1) the test is written so that it compiles all the things that the compiler supports but then, at runtime, checks what the current processor supports and runs that. If the current processor does not have any SIMD support then it falls back to plain C code. The test should run on every platform and CPU regardless of whether they have SIMD or not. 2) as part of Meson's release gating, I run the full package build and tests for Debian using a sid i386 pbuilder (under VMware currently). The tests have passed on my machine. It does work as expected, at least under some circumstances. The question here is why is it failing in Ubuntu. This requires debugging on the machine in question, roughly: - install Meson - cd into meson source root - meson test\ cases/common/155\ simd builddir - ninja -C builddir test And then catting the log file that the test suite runner prints. (which IIRC we should print in cases of error but for some reason don't in this case) You can also try running the test binary directly to see what it does, it's in builddir/simdtest.
