GCC 17 Merges Function Multi-Versioning For APX & AVX10.2

Earlier this month I wrote about Intel working on function multi-versioning support for APX and AVX10.2 with the GCC compiler. This allows developers to write optimized code paths specifically targeting Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) or Advanced Vector Extensions 10.2 capabilities of future processors while being able to otherwise fall-back to generic or other optimized code paths for other ISA target feat… https://www.phoronix.com/news/GCC-17-FMV-For-APX-AVX10.2
