Line 139: __attribute__((target("sse4.2")))
> Hi Jim. This issue has been discussed with some other engineers from Cloude
You have explained it clearly; thank you!

I agree with what you said, but, given that we seem to compile with 
-march=x86-64, do these functions actually get picked up by the compiler and 
compiled; that is, do their  __attribute__ targets become active during 
compilation?


Line 174:   static const FuncPointer SIMDFuncTable[2] = {ByteSwapSSE_Unit, 
ByteSwapAVX2_Unit};
> Hi Jim. Thank you so much for your clarification. As you can see here, the 
I don't know what "polynomial", you are referring to. I think you should check 
to see if a run-time computation is being made to calculate func_idx, and, if 
so, remove it by lifting the computation of func_idx to a compile-time constant.
