Gemini Project Context: libyuv Row Functions

This file provides context for the core row-processing architecture of libyuv. Use these guidelines when refactoring, reviewing, or generating code within the row_*.cc files.

Architectural Overview

Libyuv uses a dispatch system where high-level conversion functions call optimized "Row" functions. These functions are categorized by SIMD architecture and compiler compatibility.

Source File Map

x86 Architectures (32-bit and 64-bit)

  • row_gcc.cc: Master copy. Contains inline assembly in GCC syntax for GCC and Clang. Supports AVX, and AVX512. AVX512 implementations are strictly for 64-bit targets.
  • row_win.cc: Derivative of row_gcc.cc. Contains C++ intrinsics specifically for Visual C++ (MSVC). Can be tested with Clang using -DLIBYUV_ENABLE_ROWWIN.
  • Note: Use either row_gcc or row_win, never both.

ARM Architectures

  • row_neon.cc: 32-bit ARM. Written entirely in inline assembly for GCC/Clang.
  • row_neon64.cc: 64-bit ARM (AArch64). Written entirely in inline assembly for GCC/Clang.
  • row_sve.cc: ARMv9 Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE).
  • row_sme.cc: ARMv9 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) and Streaming SVE (SSVE).

Other Architectures

  • row_rvv.cc: RISC-V Vector (RVV). Implemented using intrinsics. Optimized for SiFive X280.
  • row_lsx.cc / row_lasx.cc: Loongarch MIPS-like extensions.

Utility and Fallbacks

  • row_common.cc: Portable C/C++ versions. This is the reference implementation.
  • row_any.cc: Handles "remainder" pixels for widths not multiples of SIMD register size. Used for x86, NEON, and MIPS. Not required for SVE, SME, or RVV due to hardware-level masking.

Coding Guidelines

  1. AVX512 Logic: AVX512 row functions are strictly enabled for 64-bit x86 only.
  2. Feature Macros: Use the HAS_ macros in include/libyuv/row.h to enable or disable specific AVX512 versions.

libyuv] Optimized ARGBToRGB24 for AVX2

Detailed technical explanation of the change. Describe the SIMD
optimization logic and any platform-specific constraints. Mention
if this impacts specific row files like row_gcc.cc.
