"imm8" is not a register. "imm" stands for "immediate", i.e. a
constant, hard-coded value. E.g.:

asm { vpermilps YMM0, YMM1, 0 /* no idea what would be a
meaningful value */; }


Oh, well, that makes sense. This means I should use string mixins to insert the actual value.

I couldn't run AVX2 either, I have to work on this blindly until I get my hands on a new Xeon E5-2620 3rd generation processor. :/


> I think my CPU doesn't have AVX, so I can't test anything beyond
compiling. When running all I get is "Illegal instruction (core
dumped)".

My error is vmovdqu, I get:

 Error: AVX vector types not supported

Anyone know what this is? I can't find a reference to it in the dmd compiler code.

Also, 'vpunpcklqdq _ymm, _ymm, _ymm' is undefined in DMD, so I get : avx2.d(23): Error: bad type/size of operands 'vpunpcklqdq'


Looks like abunch of work is needed to get avx2 working...
