Moved all the code using Altivec intrinsics to separate files. This
means we can optionally use GCC's -maltivec on just these files, which
are chosen at runtime if the CPU supports Altivec, and compile the rest
without it, making a single binary that has Altivec optimizations but
can still work on G3.
Unlike SSE and similar extensions on x86, there does not seem to be
a way to enable conditional, targeted use of Altivec based on runtime
detection (which is what ioquake3 wants to do) without also giving the
compiler permission to use Altivec in code generation; so to not crash
on CPUs that do not implement Altivec, we'll have to turn it off
altogether, except in translation units that are only entered when
runtime Altivec detection is successful.
This has been tested on Linux PPC (on an Altivec-enabled CPU),
but we may need further work after testing trickles out to other
PowerPC devices and ancient Mac OS X builds.
I did a little work on this patch, but the majority of the effort belongs
to Simon McVittie (thanks!).
gcc 6 with -Wall -Wextra warns:
code/botlib/l_precomp.c: In function ‘PC_NameHash’:
code/botlib/l_precomp.c:551:2: warning: ‘register’ is not at beginning of declaration [-Wold-style-declaration]
int register hash, i;
^~~
Modern compilers either ignore the register storage class when
generating code, or generate better code without it, so just remove
most of them.
The remaining uses are in third-party bundled libraries (libjpeg, zlib),
and in a PowerPC-specific inline function consisting of inline
assembler (because I'm not 100% confident that it doesn't have
some practical use there).
