And how would you do that with a plain .asm file? Write the function setup code yourself (meaning you will only support the select few architectures you explicitly write code for) or using yasm (meaning you will support only the less select but still quite few architectures ABIs it supports)?



Well, for that file instead of storing pointers to labels and doing repeatative jumps in the loop I wrote mlpdsp_template.c that creates using C preprocessor 8*4 functions mlp_filter_channel_x86_X_Y and I use table of function pointers and call a function based on the X and Y. That was just about the only way I could make that function work on for intel compiler.
