Naming right now for wasm simd intrinsics takes the signededness of the instruction into account, but some operations are the same regardless of signededness, such as `i32x4_add`. This commit adds aliases for all of these operations under unsigned names as well (such as `u32x4_add`) which are just a `pub use` to rename the item as two names. The goal of this is to assist in reading code (no need to switch back and forth between `i` and `u`) as well as writing code (no need to always remember which operations are the same for signed/unsigned but only available under the signed names).
core::arch - Rust's core library architecture-specific intrinsics
The core::arch module implements architecture-dependent intrinsics (e.g. SIMD).
Usage
core::arch is available as part of libcore and it is re-exported by
libstd. Prefer using it via core::arch or std::arch than via this crate.
Unstable features are often available in nightly Rust via the
feature(stdsimd).
Using core::arch via this crate requires nightly Rust, and it can (and does)
break often. The only cases in which you should consider using it via this crate
are:
-
if you need to re-compile
core::archyourself, e.g., with particular target-features enabled that are not enabled forlibcore/libstd. Note: if you need to re-compile it for a non-standard target, please prefer usingxargoand re-compilinglibcore/libstdas appropriate instead of using this crate. -
using some features that might not be available even behind unstable Rust features. We try to keep these to a minimum. If you need to use some of these features, please open an issue so that we can expose them in nightly Rust and you can use them from there.
