Is the bitstream generated by ARM32 the same as C on iOS?

Issue #297 new
Former user created an issue

I built an iOS xcode project for x265 2.0. But I found that the bitstream generated by arm32 is different from the bitstream generated by C code. Is the neon stable already?

    When we enabled -fPIC, which was required to set -mcpu=native, I did find a difference in the bitstreams between the C version and the asm version. But since the benefit in performance from this was huge, we went ahead with it anyways. Is there an alternative that you recommend?

    The NEON support isn't as rigorously tested by us as the x86 builds are, but it should be stable afaik. I think there are some folks using the ARM builds already; perhaps they can comment more?
