Hello, I'm developing an interface to libfftw3 (Fastest Fourier Transform in the West). The library provides a function to allocate SIMD-aligned memory (Single Instruction Multiple Data), in order to maximize access speed to data. Before I start to investigate a way to blandish a CArray into pointing to a stretch of previously allocated memory, how does Perl 6 allocate memory? Does it already use the SIMD alignment?
Since I'm here :-) will Perl 6 ever support a native type mirroring the __float128 quadruple-precision type provided by gcc? Thank you! -- Fernando Santagata
