Hi,
Is there any guarantee about alignment of signal vector data?
If not, should there be, in the future?
Or should one conditionally `dsp_add()` their specific-alignment-needing kernels dependent on what the `dsp` method actually gets?
Context:
In some code unrelated to Pd, using GCC vector intrinsics (not CPU-specific) I got a near-2x speed boost by recompiling the same code to target a newer CPU, vs the binary compiled for an older CPU.
The old idea of compiling a machine-specific math~.pd_linux (or whatever) to speed up everything by overwriting internal objects is also on my mind.
Thanks,
Claude
