// AVX instructions
// https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/#techs=AVX
// Note: this header will work whether you have AVX enabled or not.
// With LDC, use "dflags-ldc": ["-mattr=+avx"] or equivalent to actively
// generate AVX instructions.
// With GDC, use "dflags-gdc": ["-mavx"] or equivalent to actively
// generate AVX instructions.


/// IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MASK LOAD/STORE:
///
/// In theory, masked load/store can adress unadressable memory provided the mask is zero.
/// In practice, that is not the case for the following reasons:
/// 
/// - AMD manual says:
///   "Exception and trap behavior for elements not selected for loading or storing from/to memory
///   is implementation dependent. For instance, a given implementation may signal a data 
///   breakpoint or a page fault for doublewords that are zero-masked and not actually written."
///
/// - Intel fetches the whole cacheline anyway:
///   https://erik.science/2019/06/21/AVX-fun.html
///   "Even if the mask is stored in the special mask registers, it will still first fetch the data
///    before checking the mask."
///
/// So intel-intrinsics adopted the tightened semantics of only adressing fully addressable memory 
/// with masked loads and stores.


/// Some AVX intrinsics takes a float comparison constant.
/// When labelled "ordered" it means "AND ordered"
/// When labelled "unordered" it means "OR unordered"
