PackedSimd documentation does not specific underlying SIMD method.

[JimBobSquarePants]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

All current intrinsic specific type methods (Avx, Sse, etc) contain the name of the underlying method that is being implemented. PackedSimd lacks this documentation making it difficult to understand what behavior to expect.

For example Swizzle(Vector128, Vector128) contains no information at all but the equivalent Rust docs explain how out of bounds values are handled.

In addition, the reference source simply points to PackedSimd.PlatformNotSupported.cs which is not very useful.
