Of course it’s open source, I get that. When I say „xyz should be done“ then in the sense of „2+2 should be 4“ not in the sense of „you must implement xyz right now“ ;)
Nonetheless, if you run e.g. on an ARM platform the command qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu help then it shouldn’t list a slew of CPUs as „available“ that clearly aren’t working. It should then list fully implemented CPUs separately from partially implemented CPUs (if listing them at all), and if it does list incomplete implementations, it should indicate what’s missing. It’s just a horrible user experience, if based on such output, one spends significant time trying to get some emulation running, only to then discover from runtime error messages, that an „available“ CPU isn’t actually available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818075 Title: qemu x86 TCG doesn't support AVX insns Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I'm trying to execute code that has been built with -march=skylake -mtune=generic -mavx2 under qemu-user x86-64 with -cpu Skylake-Client.
