Hans-G?nter@25079 1 Orc is basically a simplified assembly language for data processing
Hans-G?nter@25079 2 (no loops, jumps etc.), it's supposed to map to SIMD instructions on
Hans-G?nter@25079 3 various architectures curently there are two things:
Hans-G?nter@25079 4
Hans-G?nter@25079 5 - liborc, which is a JIT compiler that will at run-time take orc code
Hans-G?nter@25079 6 (in some byte format) and generate machine code for the architecture
Hans-G?nter@25079 7 in question on the fly and then execute that whenever there's a
Hans-G?nter@25079 8 function call
Hans-G?nter@25079 9 - we have C backup functions as .c files in the gstreamer source code,
Hans-G?nter@25079 10 which are also compiled in when orc can't compile some code (for
Hans-G?nter@25079 11 various reasons), or liborc is not available, then the C backup
Hans-G?nter@25079 12 function will be used that's the current state of things.
