Indeed, though Highway is approaching a system library at this point. It is also a thin wrapper over the compiler's intrinsics headers: e.g. ~16KLOC for arm_neo

Indeed, though Highway is approaching a system library at this point. It is also a thin wrapper over the compiler's intrinsics headers: e.g. ~16KLOC for arm_neon.h, times the number of targets. That's a lot of code, but it is not comparable with actual codec logic lines.
