[libc] Implement generic SIMD helper 'simd.h' and implement strlen (#152605) Summary: This PR introduces a new 'simd.h' header that implements an interface similar to the proposed `stdx::simd` in C++. However, we instead wrap around the LLVM internal type. This makes heavy use of the clang vector extensions and boolean vectors, instead using primitive vector types instead of a class (many benefits to this). I use this interface to implement a generic strlen implementation, but propse we use this for math. Right now this requires a feature only introduced in clang-22.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
