Here is an example on how to do this using github.com/google/highway: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/zP7MYe9Yf

You write the code only once and do not have to worry about any #pragma/conditional compilation. Just copy-paste about a dozen lines of boilerplate, link with the Highway library, and done.

That’s great! Never seen this library before. It’s much neater than the other approaches I’ve seen/used.
