Subject: RE: more targets using sse-intrinsics.S

Windows is not a straight forward build.  I have gotten it built, and it passes -test=0.  I am building a 'pre .S' sse-intrinsics.c build, with cygwin (x86-32), and will compare speeds.

Here are the changes needed for cygwin building (I am thinking about a perl script to run during the make, for win32-cygwin-x86-sse2i build)

1. all lines that are .type need to be commented out
2. all lines that are .size need to be commented out
3. a couple of .section lines at end of file need commented out.
4. a #ifdef UNDERSCORES section needed added at top of file.

	.file "sse-intrinsics.c"
#ifdef UNDERSCORES
#define memcpy        _memcpy
#define memset        _memset
#define strlen        _strlen
#define MD5_Init      _MD5_Init
#define MD5_Update    _MD5_Update
#define MD5_Final     _MD5_Final
#define SSEmd5body    _SSEmd5body
#define SSESHA1body   _SSESHA1body
#define SSEmd4body    _SSEmd4body
#define md5cryptsse   _md5cryptsse
#endif

Here are some timings, testing original md5-mmx.S, an intrinsic build using sse-intrisics.c and one using a patched sse-intrisic-32.S.

Raw SHA-1 [8x]                             7079K c/s

So, the intrinsic-32.S is about 22% faster for dynamic, about 45% faster for the Crypt(3) MD5, and about 22% faster for raw-SHA1.
However, the intrinsic-32.S is about 20-22% faster for dynamic, about 300% faster for the Crypt(3) MD5 (only supports SSE2i), and about 6-7% slower for raw-SHA1.


All in all, this is not a bad way to proceed.  These are some very prelim tests.  I have not had time to really dig in too deep.

Jim.
