Wrote a little tool to generate ARMv7/AARCH64 NEON intrinsics for @rustlang - https://github.com/Licenser/neongen … so far 256 and counting.

Nice! I used to do this to generate asm blocks in C... Good lazy! ( No mips? )

After this https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/792 … ‘experience’ with the wonderful rust community the only way I’m going to add anything to rust is if I’m payed very well for it...

You might call me biased but I don't see anything wrong with that experience other than a ton of effort which is a given considering the nature of work

Well where to start, lets start with opening a PR with some intrinsics as macros - all good; 100+ intrinsics later “Oh no we don’t want macros can you do something else”; How about a http://build.rs that generates them? “Sure that works!”

Replying to @heinz_gies @DPC_22 and
Rewriting all the macros as a generator in http://build.rs , and another ~100 intrinsics later: “Oh we don’t like the build RS! Change the format, and how it generates, and rewrite the entire thing again”. How about just committing the files?

Frankly if I had known this on day 2 I’d just have closed the PR and say screw it, let someone who gets paid for it deal with that kind of power trips.

Yep. That would've been a far better outcome!

The amusing thing is the PR adds 279 intrinsics, more then doubling the NEON surface available in rust …
