Within core, `use self::` does not work to import these items.
And because core is not core_simd, neither does the existing `use`.
So, use this quirky hack instead, switching the import on a feature.
It looks like the last time had left some remaining cfg's -- which made me think
that the stage0 bump was actually successful. This brings us to a released 1.62
beta though.
Working through giving example documentation to every Simd function.
The major change in this patch is using doc macros to generate
type-specific examples for each function, using a visually-apparent type
constructor. This makes it feel nicer to have twelve separate
documentation entries for reduce_product(), for example.
A simpler variant of rust-lang/portable-simd#206.
* Comparisons are moved to `SimdPartialEq`, `SimdPartialOrd`, and `SimdOrd`. The function names are prefixed with `simd_` to disambiguate from the regular `PartialEq` etc functions. With the functions on traits instead of `Simd` directly, shadowing the function names doesn't work very well.
* Floating point `Ord`-like functions are put into a `SimdFloat` trait. The intention is that eventually (some time after this PR) all floating point functions will be moved from `Simd` to `SimdFloat`, and the same goes for future `SimdInt`/`SimdUint` traits.
Now that we are thoroughly embedded in libcore, we don't need these on by default.
Indeed, their presence may provide confusing results during integration attempts.
Another approach that fixesrust-lang/portable-simd#223, as an alternative to rust-lang/portable-simd#238.
This adds the `ToBitMask` trait, which is implemented on a vector for each bitmask type it supports. This includes all unsigned integers with enough bits to contain it. The byte array variant has been separated out for now into rust-lang/portable-simd#246 and still requires `generic_const_exprs`, but the integer variants no longer require it and can make it to nightly.
