#include "mathlib/ssemath.h"

// Use this #define to allow SSE versions of Quaternion math
// to exist on PC.
// On PC, certain horizontal vector operations are not supported.
// This causes the SSE implementation of quaternion math to mix the
// vector and scalar floating point units, which is extremely 
// performance negative if you don't compile to native SSE2 (which 
// we don't as of Sept 1, 2007). So, it's best not to allow these
// functions to exist at all. It's not good enough to simply replace
// the contents of the functions with scalar math, because each call
// to LoadAligned and StoreAligned will result in an unnecssary copy
// of the quaternion, and several moves to and from the XMM registers.
//
// Basically, the problem you run into is that for efficient SIMD code,
// you need to load the quaternions and vectors into SIMD registers and
// keep them there as long as possible while doing only SIMD math,
// whereas for efficient scalar code, each time you copy onto or ever
// use a fltx4, it hoses your pipeline. So the difference has to be
// in the management of temporary variables in the calling function,
// not inside the math functions.
//
// If you compile assuming the presence of SSE2, the MSVC will abandon
// the traditional x87 FPU operations altogether and make everything use
// the SSE2 registers, which lessens this problem a little.

// permitted only on 360, as we've done careful tuning on its Altivec math.
// FourQuaternions, however, are always allowed, because vertical ops are
// fine on SSE.
