gnu/gcc/8be0893fd98c9a89bbcd81e0ff8ebae60841d062 libstdc++: Implement [simd] for C++26
This implementation differs significantly from the
std::experimental::simd implementation. One goal was a reduction in
template instantiations wrt. what std::experimental::simd did.
Design notes:
- bits/vec_ops.h contains concepts, traits, and functions for working
with GNU vector builtins that are mostly independent from std::simd.
These could move from std::simd:: to std::__vec (or similar). However,
we would then need to revisit naming. For now we kept everything in
the std::simd namespace with __vec_ prefix in the names. The __vec_*
functions can be called unqualified because they can never be called
on user-defined types (no ADL). If we ever get simd<UDT> support this
will be implemented via bit_cast to/from integral vector
builtins/intrinsics.
- bits/simd_x86.h extends vec_ops.h with calls to __builtin_ia32_* that
can only be used after uttering the right GCC target pragma.
- basic_vec and basic_mask are built on top of register-size GNU vector
builtins (for now / x86). Any larger vec/mask is a tree of power-of-2
#elements on the "first" branch. Anything non-power-of-2 that is
smaller than register size uses padding elements that participate in
element-wise operations. The library ensures that padding elements
lead to no side effects. The implementation makes no assumption on the
values of these padding elements since the user can bit_cast to
basic_vec/basic_mask.
Implementation status:
- The implementation is prepared for more than x86 but is x86-only for
now.
- Parts of [simd] *not* implemented in this patch:
- std::complex<floating-point> as vectorizable types
- [simd.permute.dynamic]
- [simd.permute.mask]
- [simd.permute.memory]
- [simd.bit]
- [simd.math]
- mixed operations with vec-mask and bit-mask types
- some conversion optimizations (open questions wrt. missed
optimizations in the compiler)
- This patch implements P3844R3 "Restore simd::vec broadcast from int",
which is not part of the C++26 WD draft yet. If the paper does not get
accepted the feature will be reverted.
- This patch implements D4042R0 "incorrect cast between simd::vec and
simd::mask via conversion to and from impl-defined vector types" (to be
published once the reported LWG issue gets a number).
- The standard feature test macro __cpp_lib_simd is not defined yet.
Tests:
- Full coverage requires testing
1. constexpr,
2. constant-propagating inputs, and
3. unknown (to the optimizer) inputs
- for all vectorizable types
* for every supported width (1–64 and higher)
+ for all possible ISA extensions (combinations)
= with different fast-math flags
... leading to a test matrix that's far out of reach for regular
testsuite builds.
- The tests in testsuite/std/simd/ try to cover all of the API. The
tests can be build in every combination listed above. Per default only
a small subset is built and tested.
- Use GCC_TEST_RUN_EXPENSIVE=something to compile the more expensive
tests (constexpr and const-prop testing) and to enable more /
different widths for the test type.
- Tests can still emit bogus -Wpsabi warnings (see PR98734) which are
filtered out via dg-prune-output.
Benchmarks:
- The current implementation has been benchmarked in some aspects on
x86_64 hardware. There is more optimization potential. However, it is
not always clear whether optimizations should be part of the library
if they can be implemented in the compiler.
- No benchmark code is included in this patch.
