This commit renames the `is_target_feature_detected!` macro to have different
names depending on the platform. For example:
* `is_x86_feature_detected!`
* `is_arm_feature_detected!`
* `is_aarch64_feature_detected!`
* `is_powerpc64_feature_detected!`
Each macro already has a platform-specific albeit similar interface. Currently,
though, each macro takes a different set of strings so the hope is that like
with the name of the architecture in the module we can signal the dangers of
using the macro in a platform-agnostic context.
One liberty taken with the macro currently though is to on both the x86 and
x86_64 architectures name the macro `is_x86_feature_detected` rather than also
having an `is_x86_64_feature_detected`. This mirrors, however, how all the
intrinsics are named the same on x86/x86_64.
* Prepare portable packed SIMD vector types for RFCs
This commit cleans up the implementation of the Portable Packed Vector Types
(PPTV), adds some new features, and makes some breaking changes.
The implementation is moved to `coresimd/src/ppvt` (they are
still exposed via `coresimd::simd`).
As before, the vector types of a certain width are implemented in the `v{width}`
submodules. The `macros.rs` file has been rewritten as an `api` module that
exposes the macros to implement each API.
It should now hopefully be really clear where each API is implemented, and which types
implement these APIs. It should also now be really clear which APIs are tested and how.
- boolean vectors of the form `b{element_size}x{number_of_lanes}`.
- reductions: arithmetic, bitwise, min/max, and boolean - only the facade,
and a naive working implementation. These need to be implemented
as `llvm.experimental.vector.reduction.{...}` but this needs rustc support first.
- FromBits trait analogous to `{f32,f64}::from_bits` that perform "safe" transmutes.
Instead of writing `From::from`/`x.into()` (see below for breaking changes) now you write
`FromBits::from_bits`/`x.into_bits()`.
- portable vector types implement `Default` and `Hash`
- tests for all portable vector types and all portable operations (~2000 new tests).
- (hopefully) comprehensive implementation of bitwise transmutes and lane-wise
casts (before `From` and the `.as_...` methods where implemented "when they were needed".
- documentation for PPTV (not great yet, but better than nothing)
- conversions/transmutes from/to x86 architecture specific vector types
- `store/load` API has been replaced with `{store,load}_{aligned,unaligned}`
- `eq,ne,lt,le,gt,ge` APIs now return boolean vectors
- The `.as_{...}` methods have been removed. Lane-wise casts are now performed by `From`.
- `From` now perform casts (see above). It used to perform bitwise transmutes.
- `simd` vectors' `replace` method's result is now `#[must_use]`.

To integrate into the standard library this crate needs *at least* a
stability attribute on the macro itself but this commit also beings by
adding unstable attributes to the exported modules as well. This should
help everything be unstable-by-default and we can start iterating from
there in the standard library.
This commit also does away with the `coresimd::vendor` module internal
implementation detail, instead directly creating the `arch` module to
allow easily documenting it in this crate and having the docs show up in
rust-lang/rust.
With RFC 2325 looking close to being accepted, I took a crack at
reorganizing this repository to being more amenable for inclusion in
libstd/libcore. My current plan is to add stdsimd as a submodule in
rust-lang/rust and then use `#[path]` to include the modules directly
into libstd/libcore.
Before this commit, however, the source code of coresimd/stdsimd
themselves were not quite ready for this. Imports wouldn't compile for
one reason or another, and the organization was also different than the
RFC itself!
In addition to moving a lot of files around, this commit has the
following major changes:
* The `cfg_feature_enabled!` macro is now renamed to
`is_target_feature_detected!`
* The `vendor` module is now called `arch`.
* Under the `arch` module is a suite of modules like `x86`, `x86_64`,
etc. One per `cfg!(target_arch)`.
* The `is_target_feature_detected!` macro was removed from coresimd.
Unfortunately libcore has no ability to export unstable macros, so for
now all feature detection is canonicalized in stdsimd.
The `coresimd` and `stdsimd` crates have been updated to the planned
organization in RFC 2325 as well. The runtime bits saw the largest
amount of refactoring, seeing a good deal of simplification without the
core/std split.
