#37979: gnuradio: VOLK component suggests compiling with gcc --------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: macsforever2000@… | Owner: michaelld@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gnuradio | --------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by michaelld@…): If VOLK does not detect SSE![1/2/3/4], AVX, Neon, Altivec, or whatever SIMD instructions during configuration, then internally it will not compile kernels handling those instructions for the algorithms it encompasses (e.g., FIR filter). There is always a "generic" kernel, and if +orc is selected then ORC can be used as a kernel (which are not generally as good as GR's kernels, but anything is much better than generic). So, really, it's not such a big deal no matter which compiler is used. But, using Apple's GCC 4.2 is, right now, the optimal way to go until the GR folks get support for clang in place. If there is any change I would put in place is to just specify using this specific compiler; not +gccXY or +clangAB or whatnot. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37979#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
