Subject: [Beowulf] fast compiler question (pathscale/portland
        group/gcc)

Rebuilding a code that uses sse2 inlines. Apart from setting up the appropriate include path for the intrinsic headers, are there any magic switches I need to set? I had done this a while ago, and now I am rebuilding someone-elses-code, and trying to remember what I did before.

Most interested in gcc/pathscale.

Hi Joe,

Regarding PathScale Compilers, I have this from one of our compiler engineers:
-----------------------
If the code already uses SSE2 intrinsics, the PathScale compiler does not need any "magic switches" for SSE2 intrinsics to be enabled. Some applications may need a configuration switch like --enable-sse for the application to use sse intrinsics. This is just a configure switch for the application, and not an option for the compiler.
-----------------------

Cheers,
Tom
