8bits vectors? #21

Open delehef opened 4 years ago

delehef commented 4 years ago

Hi!

Is there a particular reason for which only 16- and 32-bits wide integer vectors are implemented, but not the 8-bits wide ones?

nope, prs welcome. next thing i am working on is probably wasm support, could add 8bit instructions eventually but might be a while

@jackmott Not being too familiar with the simdeez source tree, but having gotten far enough last night to notice that I couldn't seem to be able to load an i8 vector (though 2.0 documentation is missing maybe? so I may have missed something), and if I were to want to help out to add it in a PR ... what's missing at this point? I see some i8 support on tip of tree, but not clear if there's actually a way to create and load such a vector? Just scalars?
