To highlight where we're disconnected, my phrase:
"cases that use these instructions will be compiled by Xcode"
does not imply that Xcode comes equipped to translate user-provided code into these instructions; however, by use of Apple frameworks, Xcode could still regardless output binaries that use these instructions, without needing to provide us any manner to do so ourselves.
I suspect most people aren't compiling framework-provided binary code into their binaries, using static or whatever it's called these days and so I believe those usages will end up reserved for the frameworks — but since someone is certain to try and consider 'the binary output of Xcode' to include any frameworks referenced by it if it supports their point, I'm taking care to cover all possible cases where output of those instructions could occur without a translation phase using LLVM or etc.
- ytch 6y agoThanks for your explanation, I didn't take this into account
- floatingatoll 6y agoNo worries, I’ll think about how to do better with my wording next time too.
