Hello:
I have a linux target running an x32 ABI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI). I am trying to link IPP in this environment and the linker tells me that both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IPP are incompatible. That makes sense because i don't think either of those libraries were built to work with x32. I looked through the IPP install folder for x32 versions of the library and didn't see anything obvious. Am I missing something or is IPP not supported in an x32 environment? If not, are there any plans to support it or must i switch to a pure 32 or 64 bit ABI to use IPP in this case.
For what its worth i am trying to use x32 because there are some issues in my application when using 64 bit pointers, so i thought i might be able to get the performance benefits of a 64-bit system (more registers, etc.) when using 32-bit pointers. Maybe that is more hassle than it is worth, though.
Note that my application builds,links, and runs fine with x86 (32-bit) and 64-bit ABIs.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
