Optimized generated code fails to compile with gcc 5.3.0

This turns out to be more general. GCC dislikes __declspecs. I'm on it.

I am sorry, I should have responded sooner.

The optimized code was generated to specifically target the intel compiler, because it was the only compiler that could reliably vectorize the loops without intrinsics. Hence why I have Intel-only features.

If we use intrinsics you can either

• use the same storage types as the unoptimized version, which take the steps required to ensure the correct alignment. The __declspec was used to try and give the compiler extra information.
• likewise you could just use a naked pointer (again, you know that the pointers are correctly aligned)

[vkarak]

Since we're moving to intrinsics then, I'm not gonna spend more on this.

I would be tempted to step back, and use the unoptimized kernels as a starting point.
