Re: NCG lowering of sqrt

Hi Kavon,

I looked a bit and it does not appear that there is an SSE sqrt in the native code gen. It should be easy to add (see a similar addition here: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3265). The x87 version was available for 32-bit. I think if you use the LLVM backend it will give you the SSE sqrt.

Indeed. I pushed a starting point to D3508; I haven't validated it but there's a chance it will work. If not it would be great if someone could pick it up. Otherwise I'll return to it when I have time. Cheers, - Ben
