SSE intrinsics + auto-alignment (3.2.2)

[ozzy at orkysquad dot org]

Heya dudes,

I just would like to comment here about the way __m128 and derived data types 
from the 
SSE intrinsics part of the new gcc3.2.2 fix release are handled..  I'm 
currently working 
(@orkysquad.org) on a game project which should use intrinsics. Unfortunately, 
when 
came the time for a Linux port i get one of my worst headache so far (since i 
first met 
DirectX! ;).
My point is, for portability purposes it is a really bad option to keep SSE 
intrinsics data 
types *not* auto aligned (into structures) while Icc and Msvc compilers are 
doing that (and 
maybe __int64 aswell but can't remember). So, it is not difficult to port your 
intrinsics code 
to GCC but really really difficult to port your win32 defined structures 
(data)!! That's too 
bad why don't everybody uses the Intel(1998 guidelines) and mxxxxxxxxt way of 
handling 
padding for specific SSE intrinsics?? frankly it will be a better world for 
everyone! ;))

Thus, Is it planned to correct this issue for GCC3.3 release and above? In the 
negative, why 
and what does it involve? :-p

Thank u!

tchOo!

Ozzy.

ps: (is there any forum btw just like gl forums @opengl.org  for gcc purposes?)
