  32 --  This package is the root of a set aimed at offering Ada bindings to a
  33 --  subset of the Intel(r) Streaming SIMD Extensions with GNAT. The purpose
  34 --  is to allow access from Ada to the SSE facilities defined in the Intel(r)
  35 --  compiler manuals, in particular in the Intrinsics Reference of the C++
  36 --  Compiler User's Guide, available from http://www.intel.com.
  37 
  38 --  Assuming actual hardware support is available, this capability is
  39 --  currently supported on the following set of targets:
  40 
  41 --     GNU/Linux x86 and x86_64
  42 --     Windows XP/Vista x86 and x86_64
  43 --     Solaris x86
  44 --     Darwin x86_64
  45 
  46 --  This unit exposes vector _component_ types together with general comments
  47 --  on the binding contents.
  48 
  49 --  One other unit is offered as of today: GNAT.SSE.Vector_Types, which
  50 --  exposes Ada types corresponding to the reference types (__m128 and the
  51 --  like) over which a binding to the SSE GCC builtins may operate.
  52 
  53 --  The exposed Ada types are private. Object initializations or value
  54 --  observations may be performed with unchecked conversions or address
  55 --  overlays, for example:
  56 
  57 --  with Ada.Unchecked_Conversion;
  58 --  with GNAT.SSE.Vector_Types; use GNAT.SSE, GNAT.SSE.Vector_Types;
