Re: SIMD intrinsic function "_mm_store_si128" illegal in GCC?
Yes, compiling with -msse4.1 for a machine that doesn't have the 4.1
instruction set is asking for "Illegal instruction". Even if the one intrinsic
you quoted is from SSE2, the compiler is allowed to use SSE4.1 instructions
now - and that breaks.
Try compiling with -msse4a instead.
Dunno what you're working on, but you might be interested in
