I don't see how this can work.
I'm testing / benching, individual implementions of the same function, this
has to be done incrementally, therefore something like, having no opti,
then just SSE2, the SSSE3, then AVX2.
How can you do that through preproc tricks?
I get your example Thomas, but that's just to test stuff with no opti, it's
one case only, here we want all of them to run in the same program, one
after the other.
In the tests / benchs, I'm disabling everything, and incrementally
re-enabling features.
This kind of things can only be done at run-time.
