That could maybe be managed once the support for constants as parameter for
generics is added (note: I don't know right now how SHUFPS works, so take
the following as pseudo code):
=== code begin ===
generic function ShufPS<const N: Integer>(aArg: Whatever): Whatever; inline;
begin
asm
SHUFPS %xmm1, %xmm2, N
end;
end;
=== code end ===
As long as the assembler reader correctly handles constants for those
parameters this could work as for each N the compiler creates a new
function...
