Didn't all the distros agree on VFP3-D16 (i.e. hard-float, non-NEON) as the baseline for cross-distro compatibility for the ARM hard-float ports? The idea behind the cross-distro compatibility was to standardize on

The fact that code may be compiled with NEON optimizations enabled is thus not an issue of cross-distro compatibility :). It only narrows down the set of hardware that we can run on. Ah, yes. :-) True, so long as you don't end up with (badly-written?) functions passing so many arguments that they overflow into using the extra NEON VFP registers. Unlikely, I hope!
In between library / application boundaries? Very unlikely hopefully :). Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
