Is a FOR loop with computed bit offsets really clearer than "For each element" ? Is it valuable to repeat information that can be found in the instruction reference? I can accept answers of "yes" and "yes" because I am not someone who ever deals with vector data, but I would be a little surprised by those answers. ================ Comment at: clang/lib/Headers/fmaintrin.h:26 +/// +/// This intrinsic corresponds to the <c> VFMADD213PS </c> instruction. +/// ---------------- pengfei wrote: > It would be odd to user given this is just 1/3 instructions the intrinsic may > generate, but I don't have a good idea here. I listed the 213 version because that's the one that multiplies the first two operands, and the intrinsic multiplies the first two operands. So it's the instruction that most closely corresponds to the intrinsic. We don't guarantee that the "corresponding" instruction is what is actually generated, in general. I know this point has come up before regarding intrinsic descriptions. My thinking is that the "corresponding instruction" gives the reader a place to look in the instruction reference manual, so listing only one is again okay.
