// === having SimdArray<T, N> in the Vc namespace leads to a ABI bug ===
//
// SimdArray<double, 4> can be { double[4] }, { __m128d[2] }, or { __m256d } even though the type
// is the same.
// The question is, what should SimdArray focus on?
// a) A type that makes interfacing between different implementations possible?
// b) Or a type that makes fixed size SIMD easier and efficient?
//
// a) can be achieved by using a union with T[N] as one member. But this may have more serious
// performance implications than only less efficient parameter passing (because compilers have a
// much harder time wrt. aliasing issues). Also alignment would need to be set to the sizeof in
// order to be compatible with targets with larger alignment requirements.
// But, the in-memory representation of masks is not portable. Thus, at the latest with AVX-512,
// there would be a problem with requiring SimdMaskArray<T, N> to be an ABI compatible type.
// AVX-512 uses one bit per boolean, whereas SSE/AVX use sizeof(T) Bytes per boolean. Conversion
// between the two representations is not a trivial operation. Therefore choosing one or the other
// representation will have a considerable impact for the targets that do not use this
// representation. Since the future probably belongs to one bit per boolean representation, I would
// go with that choice.
//
// b) requires that SimdArray<T, N> != SimdArray<T, N> if
// SimdArray<T, N>::vector_type != SimdArray<T, N>::vector_type
//
// Therefore use SimdArray<T, N, V>, where V follows from the above.
