What Changed

SIMD test files unconditionally reference x86-specific symbols (sse::L2Sqr, avx::FP32ComputeIP, etc.) which don't exist in vsag.so on ARM, causing mass linker failures. The runtime checks (SimdStatus::SupportSSE()) don't help — the linker still needs the symbols.

  • New src/simd/simd_test_macro.h: Variadic wrapper macros (SIMD_TEST_SSE(...), SIMD_TEST_AVX(...), etc.) that conditionally expand based on ENABLE_XXX defines. These work inside #define bodies where #ifdef is illegal.

    // Inside macro definitions — #ifdef can't be used, so:
    SIMD_TEST_SSE(
        if (SimdStatus::SupportSSE()) {
            auto sse = sse::Func(a, b, c);
            REQUIRE(fixtures::dist_t(gt) == fixtures::dist_t(sse));
        }
    )
    
    // Outside macro definitions — direct guards:
    #ifdef ENABLE_SSE
    if (SimdStatus::SupportSSE()) { ... }
    #endif
  • src/simd/CMakeLists.txt: Added missing ENABLE_SVE compile definition for simd_test target (was already defined for simd but not simd_test).

  • 10 of 13 test files updated: basic_func_test, bf16_simd_test, bit_simd_test, fp16_simd_test, fp32_simd_test, int8_simd_test, normalize_test, pqfs_simd_test, sq4_simd_test, sq8_uniform_simd_test.

  • 3 files still need the same treatment: sq4_uniform_simd_test.cpp, sq8_simd_test.cpp, rabitq_simd_test.cpp. Pattern is identical.

Test Evidence

  • make fmt
  • make lint
  • make test
  • make cov, run tests, and collect coverage
  • Other (describe below)

Test details:

x86 build verified — no regressions in compilation.
ARM build not tested locally (no ARM runner available); fix is mechanical
and matches the guard pattern already used in the main library code
(e.g., fp32_simd.cpp uses #if defined(ENABLE_SSE) around sse:: references).

Compatibility Impact

  • API/ABI compatibility: none
  • Behavior changes: none — tests are compile-time excluded only on platforms where the symbols don't exist

Performance and Concurrency Impact

  • Performance impact: none
  • Concurrency/thread-safety impact: none

Documentation Impact

  • No docs update needed
  • Updated docs:
    • README.md
    • DEVELOPMENT.md
    • CONTRIBUTING.md
    • Other:

Risk and Rollback

  • Risk level: low
  • Rollback plan: revert commit; x86 builds unaffected either way

Checklist

  • I have linked the relevant issue (or explained why not applicable)
  • I have added/updated tests for new behavior or bug fixes
  • I have considered API compatibility impact
  • I have updated docs if behavior/workflow changed
  • My commit messages follow project conventions (Conventional Commits, optional [skip ci] prefix)

…nc_test.cpp

Wrap x86-specific (sse::, avx::, avx2::, avx512::) and ARM-specific (neon::, sve::)
function references with compile-time guards to prevent linker errors when building
on non-matching architectures.

- Inside TEST_ACCURACY macro: use SIMD_TEST_SSE/AVX/AVX2/AVX512/NEON/SVE wrapper macros
- In PQ Calculation test: use #ifdef ENABLE_SSE/AVX/AVX2/AVX512/SVE/NEON guards
- Add #include "simd_test_macro.h" for the wrapper macros
- generic:: calls remain unconditional

…d_test.cpp

Wrap architecture-specific SIMD test code with conditional compilation
guards to prevent linker errors on ARM:
- Inside TEST_ACCURACY macro: use SIMD_TEST_XXX() wrapper macros
- Inside BF16 Benchmark test: use #ifdef ENABLE_XXX / #endif guards
- generic:: calls left unchanged (always available)

…ibility

Wrap architecture-specific SIMD test code with conditional compilation guards
to prevent linker errors when building on ARM platforms where x86 SIMD
namespaces (sse, avx, avx2, avx512) are not available, and vice versa.

- Inside macro definitions: use SIMD_TEST_XXX() wrapper macros from
  simd_test_macro.h (since #ifdef cannot be used inside #define)
- Outside macro definitions: use #ifdef ENABLE_XXX / #endif directly
- generic:: calls left unguarded as they are always available

…fp16_simd_test.cpp

Wrap architecture-specific SIMD test code with conditional compilation guards
to prevent linker errors when building on ARM (or other non-x86 platforms).

- Include simd_test_macro.h for SIMD_TEST_XXX wrapper macros
- Use SIMD_TEST_XXX() wrappers inside the TEST_ACCURACY macro definition
- Use #ifdef ENABLE_XXX / #endif guards in the FP16 Benchmark test case

This matches the pattern already used in bf16_simd_test.cpp.

…_simd_test.cpp

Wrap architecture-specific SIMD blocks with conditional compilation guards
to prevent linker errors when building on platforms that don't support
certain instruction sets (e.g., x86 instructions on ARM).

- Inside macro definitions: use SIMD_TEST_XXX() wrapper macros
- Outside macro definitions: use #ifdef ENABLE_XXX / #endif directly
- generic:: calls remain unchanged (always compiled)

Wrap architecture-specific SIMD calls in int8_simd_test.cpp and
sq8_uniform_simd_test.cpp with preprocessor guards to prevent linker
errors on ARM. Inside macro definitions, use SIMD_TEST_XXX() wrapper
macros from simd_test_macro.h. Outside macros, use #ifdef ENABLE_XXX
directly. Generic calls are left unchanged.

Wrap architecture-specific SIMD function calls in test files with
compile-time preprocessor guards (SIMD_TEST_SSE, SIMD_TEST_AVX, etc.)
so that x86-specific symbols are not referenced on ARM, and vice versa.

This prevents linker errors like "undefined reference to vsag::sse::L2Sqr"
when building on ARM where x86 SIMD implementations are not available.

Changes:
- Create src/simd/simd_test_macro.h with conditional wrapper macros
- Add missing ENABLE_SVE definition for simd_test in CMakeLists.txt
- Update basic_func_test.cpp, bf16_simd_test.cpp, bit_simd_test.cpp,
  fp16_simd_test.cpp, fp32_simd_test.cpp, int8_simd_test.cpp,
  normalize_test.cpp, pqfs_simd_test.cpp, sq4_simd_test.cpp,
  sq8_uniform_simd_test.cpp with preprocessor guards
