Recent FreeBSD/PowerPC compilers, such as Clang 11.0.x on FreeBSD 13, do
the equivalent of passing -maltivec to the compiler by default, so
run-time AltiVec detection is unnecessary. However, it becomes
necessary when using other compilers or when passing -mno-altivec to the
compiler.
Closes#552
- Refer to the "slow" [I]DCT algorithms as "accurate" instead, since
they are not slow under libjpeg-turbo.
- Adjust documentation claims to reflect the fact that the "slow" and
"fast" algorithms produce about the same performance on AVX2-equipped
CPUs (because of the dual-lane nature of AVX2, it was not possible to
accelerate the "fast" algorithm beyond what was achievable with SSE2.)
Also adjust the claims to reflect the fact that the "fast" algorithm
tends to be ~5-15% faster than the "slow" algorithm on
non-AVX2-equipped CPUs, regardless of the use of the libjpeg-turbo
SIMD extensions.
- Indicate the legacy status of the "fast" and float algorithms in the
documentation and cjpeg/djpeg usage info.
- Remove obsolete paragraph in the djpeg man page that suggested that
the float algorithm could be faster than the "fast" algorithm on some
CPUs.
libjpeg-turbo has never really supported such compilers, since (AFAIK)
they are non-existent on any modern computing platform and thus
impossible for us to test. (Also, the TurboJPEG API would break without
unsigned chars.)
Furthermore, the unified CMake-based build system introduced in 2.0
always defines HAVE_UNSIGNED_CHAR, so retaining other code paths is
pointless. Eliminating support for compilers without unsigned char
eliminates the need for the GETJSAMPLE() macro, which improves the
readability of many parts of the code as well as improving the
performance of writing Targa and Windows BMP files.

Discussion in libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo#46
Within the libjpeg API code, it seems to be more the convention than not
to separate the macro name and value by two or more spaces, which
improves general readability. Making this consistent across all of
libjpeg-turbo is less about my individual preferences and more about
making it easy to automatically detect variations from our chosen
formatting convention. I intend to release the script I'm using to
validate this stuff, once it matures and stabilizes a bit.
With rare exceptions ...
- Always separate line continuation characters by one space from
preceding code.
- Always use two-space indentation. Never use tabs.
- Always use K&R-style conditional blocks.
- Always surround operators with spaces, except in raw assembly code.
- Always put a space after, but not before, a comma.
- Never put a space between type casts and variables/function calls.
- Never put a space between the function name and the argument list in
function declarations and prototypes.
- Always surround braces ('{' and '}') with spaces.
- Always surround statements (if, for, else, catch, while, do, switch)
with spaces.
- Always attach pointer symbols ('*' and '**') to the variable or
function name.
- Always precede pointer symbols ('*' and '**') by a space in type
casts.
- Use the MIN() macro from jpegint.h within the libjpeg and TurboJPEG
API libraries (using min() from tjutil.h is still necessary for
TJBench.)
- Where it makes sense (particularly in the TurboJPEG code), put a blank
line after variable declaration blocks.
- Always separate statements in one-liners by two spaces.
The purpose of this was to ease maintenance on my part and also to make
it easier for contributors to figure out how to format patch
submissions. This was admittedly confusing (even to me sometimes) when
we had 3 or 4 different style conventions in the same source tree. The
new convention is more consistent with the formatting of other OSS code
bases.
This commit corrects deviations from the chosen formatting style in the
libjpeg API code and reformats the TurboJPEG API code such that it
conforms to the same standard.
NOTES:
- Although it is no longer necessary for the function name in function
declarations to begin in Column 1 (this was historically necessary
because of the ansi2knr utility, which allowed libjpeg to be built
with non-ANSI compilers), we retain that formatting for the libjpeg
code because it improves readability when using libjpeg's function
attribute macros (GLOBAL(), etc.)
- This reformatting project was accomplished with the help of AStyle and
Uncrustify, although neither was completely up to the task, and thus
a great deal of manual tweaking was required. Note to developers of
code formatting utilities: the libjpeg-turbo code base is an
excellent test bed, because AFAICT, it breaks every single one of the
utilities that are currently available.
- The legacy (MMX, SSE, 3DNow!) assembly code for i386 has been
formatted to match the SSE2 code (refer to
ff5685d5344273df321eb63a005eaae19d2496e3.) I hadn't intended to
bother with this, but the Loongson MMI implementation demonstrated
that there is still academic value to the MMX implementation, as an
algorithmic model for other 64-bit vector implementations. Thus, it
is desirable to improve its readability in the same manner as that of
the SSE2 implementation.
+ "JSIMD_ARM_NEON" = "JSIMD_NEON"
+ "JSIMD_MIPS_DSPR2" = "JSIMD_DSPR2"
+ "*_mips_dspr2" = "*_dspr2"
It's obvious that "NEON" refers to Arm and "DSPr2" refers to MIPS, and
this naming convention is consistent with the other SIMD extensions.
