Description

Incompatibilities we're aware of

  • SSE2 changes a lot related to MMX and SSE, so test...
    • i586 vs. i686
    • i586 vs. x86_64
    • i686 vs. x86_64
  • ARMv7 vs. ARMv8 ("aarch64") Neon implementations can differ, even with compatibility modes, so test...
    • aarch64 vs thumbv7neon
    • aarch64 vs armv7 + neon

Research direction

No files or test entry points are named. Start by locating the existing architecture-specific test suite, then run or add comparisons for each unchecked i586, i686, x86_64, aarch64, thumbv7neon, and armv7-plus-neon pairing; done means the compatibility cases are covered and the checklist can be completed.
