Oh shoot, I wish I'd seen this earlier. I just pushed my attempt at those same constructors, although I used pretty different instructions. Let me know if you think they should be different.
ok. No problem. I don't know which ones are better, I just copied the ones from Tupek's implementation. I'll try yours with our unit tests and see if anything trips.
sounds great! I'll try to figure out what they are for ARM and IBM
Alright, I have drafts for ARM and IBM as well, which pass minimal tests.
Great, that was fast. I don't think sierra is building on the arm machines yet, but should be right away. We are building on vortex (IBM), I think. The initial prototyping I had done failed a couple of our builds last night because of the missing simd_mask constructors. I'll get your updates checked into sierra for tonight's builds. Also, on the coming stk-team sprint (which starts tomorrow) we will have a story to continue working on this, and one or two of the stk guys may contact you for access to this repo.
Sounds great! Please have them send me GitHub usernames. I'll work on the specialty operators from #4.
Thanks Dan, no longer any need for my previous always-inline change, since I can override the macro from the stk-simd scope now. This commit just has the simd_mask(bool) constructors. I added the avx512 ones also.
I haven't attempted the ones for neon and vsx, but those will be needed.
