[vlc-devel] [PATCH 04/25] cpu: add CPU feature masking

[Victorien Le Couviour]

Thomas,

I looked at the file a bit more, I see the tests are actually in the file
at the end.
And it does test the SSE2.
But so that's "fine" I guess when you have just one thing to test.
What I mean is, take the deinterlace filters, I would need to do that in
every file, that's quite dirty in my opinion.
Having one piece of code that just test all of them, in its own file, in
the test directory,
does seem like the right the way to go, at least if we want to keep the
codebase somewhat clean.
And it's what I want.
I don't want to copy paste my tests and bench code all over the place right
in the modules files....
