In D 2.063.2 on Windows 7:
Error: SIMD vector types not supported on this platform
Should I file a bug for this or is this currently on a roadmap? I'm
SUPER excited to get into SIMD development with D. :D
In its current state you don't want to be using SIMD with dmd because
the generated assembly will be significantly slower then if you just use
the default FPU math. If you need simd you will need to write inline
assembler. This will then also work on 32 bit windows. But you have to
use unaligned loads / stores because the compiler will not garantuee
alignment (on 32 bit).
More details on the underperforming generated assembly can be found here:
