They take advantage of gcc's vector_size attribute and so only cross, dot, qmul, qvmul and qrot (create rotation quaternion from two vectors) are needed at this stage as basic (per-component) math is supported natively by gcc. The provided functions work on horizontal (array-of-structs) data, ie a vec4d_t or vec4f_t represents a single vector, or traditional vector layout. Vertical layout (struct-of-arrays) does not need any special functions as the regular math can be used to operate on four vectors at a time. Functions are provided for loading a vec4 from a vec3 (4th element set to 0) and storing a vec4 into a vec3 (discarding the 4th element). With this, QF will require AVX2 support (needed for vec4d_t). Without support for doubles, SSE is possible, but may not be worthwhile for horizontal data. Fused-multiply-add is NOT used because it alters the results between unoptimized and optimized code, resulting in -mfma really meaning -mfast-math-anyway. I really do not want to have to debug issues that occur only in optimized code. |
