[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] move H264 IDCT to yasm

[Ronald S. Bultje]

Hi,

this patch moves H264 IDCT (the LGPL part) to yasm. Performance for
most loopy parts is improved quite a bit because gcc is completely
retarded when it comes to setting up loops (I'm not joking here), some
up to 50%. Performance for one particular function (intra16_mmx2) is
mildly worse (a few cycles) and I don't quite understand why, the code
is identical. This might be related to alignment (gcc aligns the parts
that it jmps to using nops, I don't yet know how to do that in yasm),
otherwise I don't really know. Let me know if you want detailed
performance statistics for each function.

Ronald
