Hi Everyone, We needed to make some adjustments for PPC code. We have some SIMD intrinsics that depend on Power7 and above. We also have some Crypto intrinsics that depend on Power8. Our detection routines were failing on old hardware, like PowerMac G5.
I think we should do away with the HasAltivec() tests and just switch to HasPower7() and HasPower8(). We currently have HasPower8() for crypto, but we lack HasPower7(). Removing HasAltivec() means user programs that supply their own routines based on Altivec will need to be modified. Considering Altivec support is new to Crypto++ 6.0, there's probably none out there. Are there any objections to the change?
