Why emulate Windows compilers on non windows machine? That is wrong. GCC for Linux/Darwin/any other OS besides Windows is not a Windows compiler and should not act like one. If people want to port their code, they should write their code to be portable way instead of depending on Windows or GCC stuff.
I should make a mention this is most likely for the Cell (for both sides PPC and SPU), we actually define and document a way to do aligned on variables (yes using GCC's attribute syntax) but this documentation is generic to all compiler implementations and they have to follow it. I have not seen a documentation from Intel about this or really any other intrinsics to explain how they are defined. I wish Intel gets the message here and actually documents the intrinsics and syntax, etc. for their vector extensions. -- Pinski
