Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- -msse2avx -mno-sse2avx Specify that the assembler should encode SSE instructions with VEX prefix. The option -mavx turns this on by default. And: GCC depresses SSEx instructions when -mavx is used. Instead, it generates new AVX instructions or AVX equivalence for all SSEx instructions when needed. So this is documented this way.
