Technical tradeoffs

  • Choosing `avx10.1aux` over `avx10_v1_aux` might be simpler for direct use but less aligned with potential documentation standards.
  • Ensuring naming consistency across related extensions is important for usability but may require waiting for external input (from AMD).

RE: [PATCH] x86: separate AVX10.1-aux from AVX10.2

This email is a follow-up to a discussion about naming conventions for new x86 instruction set extensions in the GNU assembler. The core of the discussion is the naming of AVX10.1-aux feature bits. Jiang, Haochen, references a previous exchange where Jan Beulich suggested aligning the name with documentation, potentially using avx10_v1_aux. Haochen leans towards avx10.1aux if v1 is not preferred, but notes that this is an AMD-proposed feature and they need to confirm their naming preference to ensure consistency with AVX10_V2_AUX.
