.SH VI. Runtime optimization
.SH VI. MNG support
A new feature in libpng 1.2.0 is the ability to dynamically switch between
standard and optimized versions of some routines. Currently these are
limited to three computationally intensive tasks when reading PNG files:
decoding row filters, expanding interlacing, and combining interlaced or
transparent row data with previous row data. Currently the optimized
versions are available only for x86 (Intel, AMD, etc.) platforms with
MMX support, though this may change in future versions. (For example,
the non-MMX assembler optimizations for zlib might become similarly
runtime-selectable in future releases, in which case libpng could be
extended to support them. Alternatively, the compile-time choice of
floating-point versus integer routines for gamma correction might become
runtime-selectable.)
Because such optimizations tend to be very platform- and compiler-dependent,
both in how they are written and in how they perform, the new runtime code
in libpng has been written to allow programs to query, enable, and disable
either specific optimizations or all such optimizations. For example, to
enable all possible optimizations (bearing in mind that some "optimizations"
may actually run more slowly in rare cases):
#if defined(PNG_LIBPNG_VER) && (PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10200)
png_uint_32 mask, flags;
flags = png_get_asm_flags(png_ptr);
mask = png_get_asm_flagmask(PNG_SELECT_READ | PNG_SELECT_WRITE);
png_set_asm_flags(png_ptr, flags | mask);
#endif
To enable only optimizations relevant to reading PNGs, use PNG_SELECT_READ
by itself when calling png_get_asm_flagmask(); similarly for optimizing
only writing. To disable all optimizations:
#if defined(PNG_LIBPNG_VER) && (PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10200)
flags = png_get_asm_flags(png_ptr);
mask = png_get_asm_flagmask(PNG_SELECT_READ | PNG_SELECT_WRITE);
png_set_asm_flags(png_ptr, flags & ~mask);
#endif
To enable or disable only MMX-related features, use png_get_mmx_flagmask()
in place of png_get_asm_flagmask(). The mmx version takes one additional
parameter:
#if defined(PNG_LIBPNG_VER) && (PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10200)
int selection = PNG_SELECT_READ | PNG_SELECT_WRITE;
int compilerID;
mask = png_get_mmx_flagmask(selection, &compilerID);
#endif
On return, compilerID will indicate which version of the MMX assembler
optimizations was compiled. Currently two flavors exist: Microsoft
Visual C++ (compilerID == 1) and GNU C (a.k.a. gcc/gas, compilerID == 2).
On non-x86 platforms or on systems compiled without MMX optimizations, a
value of -1 is used.
Note that both png_get_asm_flagmask() and png_get_mmx_flagmask() return
all valid, settable optimization bits for the version of the library that's
currently in use. In the case of shared (dynamically linked) libraries,
this may include optimizations that did not exist at the time the code was
written and compiled. It is also possible, of course, to enable only known,
specific optimizations; for example:
#if defined(PNG_LIBPNG_VER) && (PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10200)
flags = PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW \
| PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE \
| PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB \
| PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_UP \
| PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG \
| PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH ;
png_set_asm_flags(png_ptr, flags);
#endif
This method would enable only the MMX read-optimizations available at the
time of libpng 1.2.0's release, regardless of whether a later version of
the DLL were actually being used. (Also note that these functions did not
exist in versions older than 1.2.0, so any attempt to run a dynamically
linked app on such an older version would fail.)
To determine whether the processor supports MMX instructions at all, use
the png_mmx_support() function:
#if defined(PNG_LIBPNG_VER) && (PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10200)
mmxsupport = png_mmx_support();
#endif
It returns -1 if MMX support is not compiled into libpng, 0 if MMX code
is compiled but MMX is not supported by the processor, or 1 if MMX support
is fully available. Note that png_mmx_support(), png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
and png_get_asm_flagmask() all may be called without allocating and ini-
tializing any PNG structures (for example, as part of a usage screen or
"about" box).
For more extensive examples of runtime querying, enabling and disabling
of optimized features, see contrib/gregbook/readpng2.c in the libpng
source-code distribution.
