Questions for DEVS (programmers)

[carlostex 38]

These questions are for Ondrej Spanel and the other programmers.

1.Does ARMA 2 make use of SSE 4.1 code?

2.Was ARMA 2 code compiled with the Intel compiler?

3.Will you add support in the future for AVX, FMA4, XOP insructions? If not why?

4.Would re-compiling mean starting everything from scratch ?

Thank you, hope to hear from you guys soon!!!

I hope some of the DEVS see my questions...

You might want to elaborate WHY you want to know this, since it's kind of out of the blue questioning now.

I hope to see proper AMD64/EM64T support first.

AVX, XOP and FMA4 are all nice, but compiled with flags for these ISA's means the binary will not run on systems without.

SSE4.1 would make sense though, I haven't seen people trying to play ArmA 2 with a Pentium 4. :D

I think he's one of those poeple who think that supporting something makes it automatically better :rolleyes:

The answer to all your questions is:

No.

The answer to the "why" part is:

Because it makes no sense. The speed gain would be only marginal, if any.

@IronTrooper

Keep thinking. You won´t get it.

Thank you for your answer Ondrej.
