Hi everyone,Just thought I'd give a heads-up on what's happening with me and the compiler improvements. Also, I've been busy with contract work and have just had some minor surgery, so I'm not running on all cylinders currently.
* Still waiting on administrator comments and feedback on my assembly-level CSE feature (a couple of years old now) and the first part of pure functions. Both of these should be ready to merge unless someone found a bug that breaks things (someone did find some examples with pure functions which have since been fixed). * Haven't solved the SEH unwinding problem on aarch64-win64 yet. This is quite a tough one! * Also working on vectorisation for x86_64 platforms. I've got it working on win64, and can vectorise two-operand commutative operations like addition and multiplication, although some of the generated code is less than optimal (unnecessarily copying vectors to the stack). Linux (and other OSes that use the System V ABI) is taking a bit longer since it stores pairs of floats in single XMM registers even without vectorisation code, and some of the internal procedures can't properly handle these if the desire is to combine a pair of these such registers (so 4 singles) into a single XMM vector, especially where shuffling is involved. I'll let you know the progress. Kit -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
