Re: [webkit-dev] want to port JIT to MIPS - how to get of SSE2 now?
Hi, Old version seems use ENABLE_JIT_OPTIMIZE_ARITHMETIC to enable sse2 and only for X86_64, current version changes conf to: 1. you must ENABLE_JIT_OPTIMIZE_ARITHMETIC or else you use interpreter for arithmatic. 2. if ALTERNATE_JSIMMEDIATE not enabled you must have sse2 engine 3. if ALTERNATE_JSIMMEDIATE enabled, you use mmx arithematic, but ALTERNATE_JSIMMEDIATE is enabled in paltform.h only for X86_64 MAC. That means on X86 you need sse2??? thanks for your time! joe --- On Sun, 2/22/09, x yz last...@yahoo.com wrote: From: x yz last...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] want to port JIT to MIPS To: WebKit Development webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org, Gavin Barraclough barraclo...@apple.com Date: Sunday, February 22, 2009, 4:34 PM Thanks a lot otherwise I have misunderstanding.

Re: [webkit-dev] want to port JIT to MIPS - how to get of SSE2 now?
ALTERNATE_JSIMMEDIATE is only supported on 64-bit, and all 64-bit x86's have SSE2 – so the ALTERNATE_JSIMMEDIATE code is assuming that SSE2 is present. If we wanted to make ALTERNATE_JSIMMEDIATE being enabled on 32-bit x86 possible, then we would also need to check isSSE2Present() here. To address the problem at a slightly higher level, ENABLE_JIT_OPTIMIZE_ARITHMETIC is intended to guard JIT generation of double precision floating point math. In the long run we will potentially place double precision operations within the domain of the MacroAssembler interface, but this is unlikely to happen before the JIT is ported to another platform that feature a 64-bit register file based FPU (which will help drive ensuring that we get the interface right). I would suggest that ENABLE_JIT_OPTIMIZE_ARITHMETIC is not something interesting to worry about at this stage. It only affects a couple of functions, and shouldn't have any wider ramifications on design decisions – a sensible approach in porting the JIT is to switch the three optimizations switches off and then not thinking about them until after the ported JIT is up and running. (In fact, that is exactly why these three switches exist – to make it possible to port the JIT without worrying about some of the hairier bits of code generation. These compile switches were added when we ported the JIT to x86-64. Only once the JIT was up and running did we switch them on one by one). cheers, G.
