Interestingly, clang and gcc has different prototype for _mm_prefetch().
For gcc, we have
_mm_prefetch (const void *__P, enum _mm_hint __I)
While for clang, it's
#define _mm_prefetch(a, sel) (__builtin_prefetch((void *)(a), 0, (sel)))
That how the following error comes with clang:
error: cast from 'const void *' to 'void *' drops const qualifier
[-Werror,-Wcast-qual]
_mm_prefetch((const void *)rused, _MM_HINT_T0);
/usr/lib/llvm-3.8/bin/../lib/clang/3.8.0/include/xmmintrin.h:684:58:
note: expanded from macro '_mm_prefetch'
#define _mm_prefetch(a, sel) (__builtin_prefetch((void *)(a),
0, (sel)))
What's weird is that the build was actaully Okay before. I met it while
apply Jerin's vector support for ARM patch set: he just move this peiece
of code to another file, nothing else changed.
This patch fix the issue when Jerin's patchset is applied. Thus, I think
it's still needed.
