Using simd128 leads to unloadable Wasm on older browsers

[alecmocatta]

I believe I'm seeing the same as this issue with this crate:

• The force-enabling of SIMD128 feature can lead to unloadable WASMs in some browsers BurntSushi/memchr#144

Here's wasm2wat showing the functions at issue:

Does anyone know a way to implement a fallback so that we can use intrinsics and fall back to the generic version if that fails? Otherwise we might add a feature to force the generic version on wasm for such browsers and the user will either have to supply a browser check to select the best version or live with the suboptimal performance on browsers supporting SIMD.

@llogiq A Wasm binary that includes unsupported intrinsics can fail to parse, even if it won't use them. This comment is accurate unfortunately BurntSushi/memchr#144 (comment):

The current way of doing feature detection with WASM on browsers is to try to load a small WASM with the specific feature and see whether it fails. See for example this library from Google.

The route memchr took BurntSushi/memchr#149 is to only use intrinsics when #[cfg(target_feature = "simd128")]. This way you can force the intrinsic or generic version at compile-time with or without RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-feature=+simd128. Alternately:

[target.wasm32-unknown-unknown]
rustflags = ["-Ctarget-feature=+simd128"]

Apps can then build multiple binaries, and use feature detection to serve the optimal one. For the foreseeable future this is the only portable option as far as I know.

I'm also running into this issue. I'm trying to compile a version on my project without simd128 to support down to iOS 15-16.3 but this project is a dependency of a lib I'm using.

[llogiq]

You can use the generic-simd feature to build code without SIMD intrinsics.
