-- This unit exposes the Ada __m128 like data types to represent the contents
-- of SSE registers, for use by bindings to the SSE intrinsic operations.
-- See GNAT.SSE for the list of targets where this facility is supported
package GNAT.SSE.Vector_Types is
-- The reference guide states a few usage guidelines for the C types:
-- Since these new data types are not basic ANSI C data types, you
-- must observe the following usage restrictions:
--
-- * Use new data types only on either side of an assignment, as a
-- return value, or as a parameter. You cannot use it with other
-- arithmetic expressions ("+", "-", and so on).
--
-- * Use new data types as objects in aggregates, such as unions to
-- access the byte elements and structures.
--
-- * Use new data types only with the respective intrinsics described
-- in this documentation.
type m128 is private; -- SSE >= 1
type m128d is private; -- SSE >= 2
type m128i is private; -- SSE >= 2

-- Each of the m128 types maps to a specific vector_type with an extra
-- "may_alias" attribute as in GCC's definitions for C, for instance in
-- xmmintrin.h:
-- /* The Intel API is flexible enough that we must allow aliasing
-- with other vector types, and their scalar components. */
-- typedef float __m128
-- __attribute__ ((__vector_size__ (16), __may_alias__));
-- /* Internal data types for implementing the intrinsics. */
-- typedef float __v4sf __attribute__ ((__vector_size__ (16)));
