* The problem is that (AFAIK) there aren't any C compilers iwth MMX support * yet.. Even the big guys (Watcom and Microsoft) only have inline assembler * support. Of course, if this stuff is being coded in assembler, you're on * your way! The routines are in support.s so they will be coded in assembly language. Of course, someone has to add them to gas first. :) * I'll be getting a MMX machine at school soon to play with (working on * vector stuff - going to prove that Intel MMX is still slower than the * native vectoring operations of the PPC and Alpha) so I can test any code * that shows up. Cool! Satoshi
