safe_unaligned_simd

Safe wrappers for unaligned SIMD load and store operations.

The goal of this crate is to remove the need for "unnecessary unsafe" code when using vector intrinsics with no alignment requirements.

Platform-intrinsics that take raw pointers have been wrapped in functions that receive Rust reference types as arguments.

MSRV: 1.87

Implemented Intrinsics

x86_64

• sse, sse2, avx

Some example function signatures:

#[target_feature(enable = "sse")]
fn _mm_storeu_ps(mem_addr: &mut [f32; 4], a: __m128);
#[target_feature(enable = "sse2")]
fn _mm_store_sd(mem_addr: &mut f64, a: __m128d);
#[target_feature(enable = "avx")]
fn _mm256_loadu2_m128(hiaddr: &[f32; 4], loaddr: &[f32; 4]) -> __m256;

Currently, there is no plan to implement gather/scatter or masked load/store intrinsics for this platform.
