[Known Issue] SIMD vector support for 32-bit architectures is missing
There's currently no support for calling functions with SIMD vector type arguments and return values on i386
and armv7
architectures.
simd_float2
, simd_float3
, simd_float4
, simd_double2
tests are failing and app crashes on simd_double3
with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=EXC_ARM_DA_ALIGN, address=0x126e978d)
Merged with #1002(master) and #1024(release)
After running app with added plugin which methods return different types of vectors, returned values of simd_double3
and simd_double4
are correct but these for simd_float2
, simd_float3
, simd_float4
, simd_double2
are not (all values of the vectors are 0
).
The fix we've merged was mistakenly related to this issue.
It appears that for the armv7
and i386
architectures libffi cannot handle SIMD vector types as arguments and return values at the moment. The only way to use such functions in NativeScript (if these architectures need to be supported) is by calling them from native code.
