.. title:: clang-tidy - portability-simd-intrinsics
portability-simd-intrinsics
===========================
Finds SIMD intrinsics calls and suggests ``std::experimental::simd`` (`P0214`_)
alternatives.
If the option :option:`Suggest` is set to `true`, for
.. code-block:: c++
_mm_add_epi32(a, b); // x86
vec_add(a, b); // Power
the check suggests an alternative: ``operator+`` on ``std::experimental::simd``
objects.
Otherwise, it just complains the intrinsics are non-portable (and there are
`P0214`_ alternatives).
Many architectures provide SIMD operations (e.g. x86 SSE/AVX, Power
AltiVec/VSX, ARM NEON). It is common that SIMD code implementing the same
algorithm, is written in multiple target-dispatching pieces to optimize for
different architectures or micro-architectures.
The C++ standard proposal `P0214`_ and its extensions cover many common SIMD
operations. By migrating from target-dependent intrinsics to `P0214`_
operations, the SIMD code can be simplified and pieces for different targets
can be unified.
Refer to `P0214`_ for introduction and motivation for the data-parallel
standard library.
Options
-------
.. option:: Suggest
If this option is set to `true` (default is `false`), the check will suggest
`P0214`_ alternatives, otherwise it only points out the intrinsic function is
non-portable.
.. option:: Std
The namespace used to suggest `P0214`_ alternatives. If not specified, `std::`
for `-std=c++20` and `std::experimental::` for `-std=c++11`.
