Hi group!
I added a call to Vc::currentImplementationSupported() at the beginning
of my main(), but it doesn't seem to detect when a compile for an
unsupported implementation is run.
My system has AVX2, so I tried compiling (with g++ and clang++) with
-mavx512f, and alternatively, with -march=knl. In both cases, I ended up
with an 'illegal instruction-core dumped' instead of the graceful 'sorry
not supported' message I was anticipating. Am I missing something or is
there maybe a bug?
My build is from source with a checkout as per today.
With regards
