Hi

Are you looking for simething like this ?


#include <stdio.h>
#include <immintrin.h>

#define MAX 1000000
    int a[256], b[256], c[256];

    __attribute__((target_clones("avx2","arch=atom","default")))
    void foo(){
        int i,x;

for (x=0; x<MAX; x++){
    for (i=0; i<256; i++){
a[i] = b[i] + c[i];
    }
}
    }

int main() {

     if (__builtin_cpu_supports ("ssse3")){
         printf("System supprot SSE\n");
     }
     if (__builtin_cpu_supports ("avx2")){
         printf("System support AVX2\n");
     }
     if (__builtin_cpu_supports ("avx512f")){
         printf("System supports AVX 512\n");
     }

     foo();
        return 0;
    }


# gcc fmv.c -O3 -o fmv

# ./fmv
System supprot  SSE
System support AVX2

more info here :

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/X86-Built-in-Functions.html

once in the specific function you can also use

#pragma GCC target

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.5.0/gcc/Function-Specific-Option-Pragmas.html

Hope it helps
