std::experi..._abi::scalar(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for std::experimental::simd_abi::scalar — and the NAME line is literally std::experimental::simd_abi::scalar - std::experimental::simd_abi::scalar, so yes, it’s giving “I contain myself” main character energy 😭. The page title up top is std::experi..._abi::scalar(3), and it comes from the C++ Standard Libary manual (spelled “Libary” in the header, iykyk, not me fixing it 💅).

✨ Synopsis ✨

Defined in header <experimental/simd>:

using scalar = /*unspecified*/;        (parallelism TS v2)

So with the scalar ABI tag, data-parallel types are equivalent to a single element type. However, the full simd and simd_mask interface is supported and thus eases development of generic code 🫶✨.

🧚 Notes 🧚

vibe check / important note: scalar is not an alias to fixed_size<1>. That’s the whole note, bestie — don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking otherwise 💀.

🦋 See also 🦋

• fixed_size — tag type for storing specified number of elements (parallelism TS v2) (alias template)
• compatible — tag type that ensures ABI compatibility (parallelism TS v2) (alias template)
• native — tag type that is most efficient (parallelism TS v2) (alias template)
• deduce — obtains an ABI type for given element type and number of elements (parallelism TS v2) (class template)
• deduce_t — the original see-also block literally has deduce_t elements sitting there, with (parallelism TS v2) (class template) nearby; I’m keeping it visible and not inventing a cleaner description 🫶
