Can I ask if there has been any update in your thinking in the last third of a year? It is a year since github had any change in the code for gazelle, are you still working on it or have you found other things to interest you instead?

It’s trivial to wrap your C implementation so that it can be called directly from C++. So translating your implementation from C to C++ provides no real benefit, it’s more like busy work. Plus C++ is such an ugly language that its hard to imagine that it won’t die out over the next decade, replaced by C#/Objective C/Java etc. C, on the other hand, has virtues of simplicity, clarity, portability, and performance that other programming languages have yet to supplant.
Penryn has SSE4.1, SSE4.2 is first implemented in Core i7 (Nehalem).
not to just chime in about another compiler a month later, but whatever.
There’s also Watcom, which used to be a decent compiler especially due to the dos/4gw extender. I think it’s been opensourced as OpenWatcom for a while, but it’s development might be dead.
