%-%.SH VI. Runtime optimization
%-%
%-%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).
%-%
%-%The following code can be used to prevent an application from using the
%-%thread_unsafe features, even if libpng was built with PNG_THREAD_UNSAFE_OK
%-%defined:
%-%
%-%#if defined(PNG_USE_PNGGCCRD) && defined(PNG_ASSEMBLER_CODE_SUPPORTED) \
%-% && defined(PNG_THREAD_UNSAFE_OK)
%-% /* Disable thread-unsafe features of pnggccrd */
%-% if (png_access_version() >= 10200)
%-% {
%-% png_uint_32 mmx_disable_mask = 0;
%-% png_uint_32 asm_flags;

%-% mmx_disable_mask |= ( PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW \
%-% | PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB \
%-% | PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG \
%-% | PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH );
%-% asm_flags = png_get_asm_flags(png_ptr);
%-% png_set_asm_flags(png_ptr, asm_flags & ~mmx_disable_mask);
