these limitations are critical for your application, you should use
non-portable NaCl:
-* By its nature, PNaCl does not support architecture-specific instructions in
- an application (i.e., inline assembly). Future editions of PNaCl will
- attempt to mitigate this problem by introducing portable intrinsics for vector
- operations.
+* By its nature, PNaCl does not support architecture-specific
+ instructions in an application (i.e., inline assembly), but tries to
+ offer high-performance portable equivalents.
* Currently PNaCl only supports static linking with the ``newlib``
C standard library (the Native Client SDK provides a PNaCl port of
``newlib``). Dynamic linking and ``glibc`` are not yet supported.
Work is under way to enable dynamic linking in future versions of PNaCl.
-* In the initial release, PNaCl does not support vector types and SIMD.
* In the initial release, PNaCl does not support some GNU extensions
like taking the address of a label for computed ``goto``, or nested
functions.
