10.1.017 vectorization confusion...
So I'm pretty happy with the vectorization results I'm getting... on Windows. On OS X however, with the same code base, and what I believe are equivalent compiler options, it's a whole nother beast.
OK, granted, I'm compiling on a different OS, for a different subset of CPUs, with a different version of the compiler, but I thought the whole point of writing vectorizable code was so that I could avoid handcoding assembly for all these different situations. Am I wrong (delusional?) to expect similar results from both compilers on the same code base?
It's doing a great job of fusing some consecutive inlined loops (in places) and vectorizing those, but it's completely ingoring that vast majority of loops which vectorize under Windows.
For example... even the following tinker toy does not vectorize with OS X (10.1.017)...
void test (float* in, float* out, int len)
{
// almost certainly unecessary, but just for kicks...
__assume_align(in, 16);
__assume_align(out, 16);
int i, local_length = len;
#pragma ivdep
for (i = 0; i < local_length; i++)
{
out[i] = in[i] + (float)0.5f; // how explicit can I be? you're not complaining about the type anyway.
}
}
produces: unsupported loop structure...
huh? really? are you serious?
Please tell me there's something wrong with my command line...

It seems, through some inevitable xcode header / framework search path anomaly, "somebody" has confused Intel Performance Primatives with Internet Printing Protocol (Google has the same problem).
I can almost hear Moe saying "IPP? Has anyone seen IPP? How about IPO-PO?"
