Thanks. I think the issues in the code were fixed in #635, as your test shows. It looks sensible, though I'd be interested to know whether the xsimd functions used...

@amyspark having a look at your benchmark, have you had a look at the assembly before/after to see what's going on? Random speculation: inlining xsimd functions could be causing `AlphaDarkenOp::operator()`...

Hi, I've been working on this in #222. I've not tested it on normal linux yet (running on nixos; I'll try ubuntu next week and write some instructions), but it...

Ace, thanks!

Hi, We don't have a well-defined way; I've been trying to figure it out but it's taking some time. Until then, you could email me at `thomas.nixon at bbc.co.uk`. Hopefully...

Great. Unfortunately IRT no longer exists so he may not get your message, or may not have time to act on it.

Thanks for the contribution -- yes, we're still alive, there's just not much need for constant changes in a library like this. re. the padding issue, what software generates files...

Yeah, i agree in general. In my mind the kind of people who are scared off by boost would also prefer broader compiler support, but that's not based on any...
