Mark function pointer as AVX-aware
⚓ Rust 📅 2025-11-28 👤 surdeus 👁️ 2Hi!
I am writing a JIT that compiles functions:
type JitFn = fn(*mut Context, *mut State, u64, *const u64) -> bool;
When I call such a function, rust generates this code (compiled with -Ctarget-cpu=native):
vzeroupper
call *(%rax)
This single vzeroupper is currently taking up 13% of the execution time according to perf. Is there any way to mark the function pointer as AVX-enabled, so that the vzeroupper can be omitted?
