- Subject: [DOC PATCH]: Mention SVML library in the gcc-4.4. release notes
Hello!
Just a small doc patch that mentions availability of -mveclib=svml for
Intel SVML compatible ABI veclib in the release notes. Hopefully, this
library will be available from Intel as a separate package someday, at
the moment, this library is a part of icc's support libraries. Using
-mveclib=svml (together with -ffast-math -msse2 -ftree-vectorize) it
works in gcc without problems for 32bit and 64bit targets.
