Message-ID: <3785DD1F.B853E731@ssl.co.uk> (raw)
Some questions about altivec & LinuxPPC:
1. is there a free C compiler supporting altivec instructions for
linuxPPC?
2. would it be possible to trap altivec instructions on a non-altivec
processor and reroute them through code using generic instructions?
(I believe this is how Apple's MacOS altivec simulator does it).
Presumably there is a bad instruction interrupt or something and
code in the kernel to trap these interrupts? (Excuse my naivety;
I'm more of a kernel user than hacker - for now!)
3. has anyone written a C library to simulate the altivec instructions?
