// This header file provides a simple API translation layer
// between SSE intrinsics to their corresponding ARM NEON versions
//
// This header file does not (yet) translate *all* of the SSE intrinsics.
// Since this is in support of a specific porting effort, I have only
// included the intrinsics I needed to get my port to work.

// apoty: March 17, 2017
// Current version was changed in most to fix issues and potential issues.
// All unit tests were rewritten as a part of forge lib project to cover all implemented functions.
// *********************************************************************************************************************
// Release notes for January 20, 2017 version:
//
// The unit tests have been refactored.  They no longer assert on an error, instead they return a pass/fail condition
// The unit-tests now test 10,000 random float and int values against each intrinsic.
//
// SSE2NEON now supports 95 SSE intrinsics.  39 of them have formal unit tests which have been implemented and
// fully tested on NEON/ARM.  The remaining 56 still need unit tests implemented.
//
// A struct is now defined in this header file called 'SIMDVec' which can be used by applications which
// attempt to access the contents of an _m128 struct directly.  It is important to note that accessing the __m128
// struct directly is bad coding practice by Microsoft: @see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ayeb3ayc.aspx
// 
// However, some legacy source code may try to access the contents of an __m128 struct directly so the developer
// can use the SIMDVec as an alias for it.  Any casting must be done manually by the developer, as you cannot
// cast or otherwise alias the base NEON data type for intrinsic operations.
//
// A bug was found with the _mm_shuffle_ps intrinsic.  If the shuffle permutation was not one of the ones with
// a custom/unique implementation causing it to fall through to the default shuffle implementation it was failing
// to return the correct value.  This is now fixed.
//
// A bug was found with the _mm_cvtps_epi32 intrinsic.  This converts floating point values to integers.
// It was not honoring the correct rounding mode.  In SSE the default rounding mode when converting from float to int
// is to use 'round to even' otherwise known as 'bankers rounding'.  ARMv7 did not support this feature but ARMv8 does.
// As it stands today, this header file assumes ARMv8.  If you are trying to target really old ARM devices, you may get
// a build error.
//
// Support for a number of new intrinsics was added, however, none of them yet have unit-tests to 100% confirm they are
// producing the correct results on NEON.  These unit tests will be added as soon as possible.
// 
// Here is the list of new instrinsics which have been added:
//
// _mm_cvtss_f32     :  extracts the lower order floating point value from the parameter
// _mm_add_ss        : adds the scalar single - precision floating point values of a and b
// _mm_div_ps        : Divides the four single - precision, floating - point values of a and b.
// _mm_div_ss        : Divides the scalar single - precision floating point value of a by b.
// _mm_sqrt_ss       : Computes the approximation of the square root of the scalar single - precision floating point value of in.
// _mm_rsqrt_ps      : Computes the approximations of the reciprocal square roots of the four single - precision floating point values of in.
// _mm_comilt_ss     : Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a less than operation
// _mm_comigt_ss     : Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a greater than operation.
// _mm_comile_ss     :  Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a less than or equal operation.
// _mm_comige_ss     : Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a greater than or equal operation.
// _mm_comieq_ss     :  Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using an equality operation.
// _mm_comineq_s     :  Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using an inequality operation
// _mm_unpackhi_epi8 : Interleaves the upper 8 signed or unsigned 8 - bit integers in a with the upper 8 signed or unsigned 8 - bit integers in b.
// _mm_unpackhi_epi16:  Interleaves the upper 4 signed or unsigned 16 - bit integers in a with the upper 4 signed or unsigned 16 - bit integers in b.
