Enabling SSE support

Written by Mike Klein, Matt Sarett

This INSTALL file written by Glenn Randers-Pehrson, 2016.

If you have moved intel_init.c and filter_sse2_intrinsics.c to a different
directory, be sure to update the '#include "../../pngpriv.h"' line in both
files if necessary to point to the correct relative location of pngpriv.h
with respect to the new location of those files.

To enable SSE support in libpng, follow the instructions in I, II, or III,
below:

I. Using patched "configure" scripts:

First, apply intel_sse.patch in your build directory.

   patch -i contrib/intel/intel_sse.patch -p1

Then, if you are not building in a new GIT clone, e.g., in a tar
distribution, remove any existing pre-built configure scripts:

   ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
   make maintainer-clean
   ./autogen.sh --maintainer --clean

Finally, configure libpng with -DPNG_INTEL_SSE in CPPFLAGS:

   ./autogen.sh --maintainer
   CPPFLAGS="-DPNG_INTEL_SSE" ./configure [options]
   make

II. Using a custom makefile:

If you are using a custom makefile makefile, you will have to update it
manually to include contrib/intel/*.o in the dependencies, and to define
PNG_INTEL_SSE.

III. Using manually updated "configure" scripts:

If you prefer, manually edit configure.ac and Makefile.am, following the
instructions below, then follow the instructions in section II of INSTALL
in the main libpng directory, then configure libpng with -DPNG_INTEL_SSE
in CPPFLAGS.

1. Insert the following lines above the copyright line near the top of
configure.ac:

# Derived from the ARM supporting code in libpng/configure.ac, which was

2. Add the following code to configure.ac under HOST SPECIFIC OPTIONS
directly beneath the section for ARM:

-----------------cut----------------
# INTEL

   AS_HELP_STRING([[[--enable-intel-sse]]],

      *)
         AC_MSG_ERROR([--enable-intel-sse=${enable_intel_sse}: invalid value])
   esac])

# Add Intel specific files to all builds where the host_cpu is Intel ('x86*')
# or where Intel optimizations were explicitly requested (this allows a
# fallback if a future host CPU does not match 'x86*')

   [test "$enable_intel_sse" != 'no' &&

3. Insert the following lines above the copyright line near the top of
Makefile.am:

-----------------cut----------------
# Copyright (c) 2016 Google, Inc.

4. Add the following code to Makefile.am under HOST SPECIFIC OPTIONS
directly beneath the "if PNG_ARM_NEON ... endif" statement:

-----------------cut----------------
if PNG_INTEL_SSE
libpng@PNGLIB_MAJOR@@PNGLIB_MINOR@_la_SOURCES += contrib/intel/intel_init.c\
    contrib/intel/filter_sse2_intrinsics.c

-----------------cut----------------

5. Add the following lines to pngpriv.h, following the PNG_ARM_NEON_OPT
code:

-----------------cut----------------
#ifndef PNG_INTEL_SSE_OPT
#   ifdef PNG_INTEL_SSE
      /* Only check for SSE if the build configuration has been modified to
       * enable SSE optimizations.  This means that these optimizations will

5. Add the following lines to pngpriv.h, following the prototype for
