For example, you will have to add the option `-msse3` to clang or gcc to enable SSE3. SIMD predefs are also inclusive. This means that if SSE3 is enabled, then every other extensions with a lower version number will implicitly be enabled and detected. However, some extensions are CPU specific, they may not be detected nor enabled when an upper version is enabled. NOTE: SSE(1) and SSE2 are automatically enabled by default when using x86-64 architecture. To check if any SIMD extension has been enabled, you can use: [source] ---- #include #include int main() { #if defined(BOOST_HW_SIMD_AVAILABLE) std::cout << "SIMD detected!" << std::endl; #endif return 0; } ---- When writing SIMD specific code, you may want to check if a particular extension has been detected. To do so you have to use the right architecture predef and compare it. Those predef are of the form `BOOST_HW_SIMD_"ARCH"` (where `"ARCH"` is either `ARM`, `PPC`, or `X86`). For example, if you compile code for x86 architecture, you will have to use `BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86`. Its value will be the version number of the most recent SIMD extension detected for the architecture. To check if an extension has been enabled: [source] ---- #include #include int main() { #if BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86 >= BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86_SSE3_VERSION std::cout << "This is SSE3!" << std::endl; #endif return 0; } ---- NOTE: The *_VERSION* defines that map version number to actual real identifiers. This way it is easier to write comparisons without messing up with version numbers. To *"strictly"* check the most recent detected extension: [source] ---- #include #include int main() { #if BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86 == BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86_SSE3_VERSION std::cout << "This is SSE3 and this is the most recent enabled extension!" << std::endl; #endif return 0; } ---- Because of the version systems of predefs and of the inclusive property of SIMD extensions macros, you can easily check for ranges of supported extensions: [source] ---- #include #include int main() { #if BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86 >= BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86_SSE2_VERSION &&\ BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86 <= BOOST_HW_SIMD_X86_SSSE3_VERSION std::cout << "This is SSE2, SSE3 and SSSE3!" << std::endl; #endif return 0; } ---- NOTE: Unlike gcc and clang, Visual Studio does not allow you to specify precisely the SSE variants you want to use, the only detections that will take place are SSE, SSE2, AVX and AVX2.
