Description

Currently I am trying to build this library for ARM/aarch64. I am having several issues.
#include <immintrin.h>
#include <mm_malloc.h>
So far are the two issues I have seen .

Pretty much anything that includes a mm*() call is an issue.

Are there any plans to add support for ARM/aarch64 in the future? I would like to use this library on a jetson product.

Research direction

Start by locating the C++ sources that include immintrin.h or mm_malloc.h and the uses of mm*() mentioned in the issue. Check how the library currently builds on ARM/aarch64 and identify the scope of equivalent support; done means the library builds and its affected functionality works on a Jetson-class ARM system.
