This only reports values for * instruction sets SDL knows about, so if your SDL build doesn't have * SDL_HasAVX512F(), then it might return 16 for the SSE support it sees and * not 64 for the AVX-512 instructions that exist but SDL doesn't know about. * Plan accordingly. */ extern size_t SDL_SIMDGetAlignment(void); /** * \brief Allocate memory in a SIMD-friendly way. * * This will allocate a block of memory that is suitable for use with SIMD * instructions. Specifically, it will be properly aligned and padded for * the system's supported vector instructions. * * The memory returned will be padded such that it is safe to read or write * an incomplete vector at the end of the memory block. This can be useful * so you don't have to drop back to a scalar fallback at the end of your * SIMD processing loop to deal with the final elements without overflowing * the allocated buffer. * * You must free this memory with SDL_FreeSIMD(), not free() or SDL_free() * or delete[], etc. * * Note that SDL will only deal with SIMD instruction sets it is aware of; * for example, SDL 2.0.8 knows that SSE wants 16-byte vectors * (SDL_HasSSE()), and AVX2 wants 32 bytes (SDL_HasAVX2()), but doesn't * know that AVX-512 wants 64. To be clear: if you can't decide to use an * instruction set with an SDL_Has*() function, don't use that instruction * set with memory allocated through here. * * SDL_AllocSIMD(0) will return a non-NULL pointer, assuming the system isn't * out of memory. * * \param len The length, in bytes, of the block to allocated. The actual * allocated block might be larger due to padding, etc. * \return Pointer to newly-allocated block, NULL if out of memory. * * \sa SDL_SIMDAlignment * \sa SDL_SIMDFree */ extern void * SDL_SIMDAlloc(const size_t len); /** * \brief Deallocate memory obtained from SDL_SIMDAlloc * * It is not valid to use this function on a pointer from anything but * SDL_SIMDAlloc().
