We use some of the SSE instructios if available on x86. On amd64 they are obviously used to implement the fp support. We don't use any altivec instruction as that is pretty much pointless. We don't auto vectorize from IL code, but we're developing an extension that allows people to take advantage of sse instructions with intrinsics (people watching the changes list can see it already). lupus -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
