No. Sorry, I realize I misread your previous question: >> I guess checking for "cpu_has_sse4_1" is unnecessary if it isn't >> controllable by user at runtime; because "USE_SSE41" is a compile time check >> and requires the target machine to be SSE 4.1 capable already. USE_SSE41 is set if the *compiler* supports SSE 4.1. This allows you to build the code and then use it only on systems that actually support it. All of this could have been pretty easily answered by a few greps though... _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
