Ping,

nobody has an opinion on this? Or some explanation why I am mistaken to believe that #pragma target makes it safer now?

It would enable a number of optimizations, like constant propagation, FMA contraction, etc. It would also allow us to remove several builtins.

(note that ARM seems to be doing the same thing for their neon intrinsics, see Ramana's patch series posted today)

Hello,

the previous discussion on the topic was before we added all those #pragma target in *mmintrin.h:

I believe that removes a large part of the arguments against it. Note that I only did a few of the more obvious intrinsics, I am waiting to see if this patch is accepted before doing more.
