Hai,
      Are there any compilers, which can use MMX instructions(Any SIMD
instructions like 3DNow from AMD or VIS from SUN etc.) in the code
generated by them?


Thanks in advance,
regards,

[My impression is that those special purpose instructions are either stuck
in assembler language libraries or generated via machine specific macros.
It's hard to generate good code for complex instructions -- that's one of
the reasons that computer architecture moved from CISC to RISC. -John]
