beginning IPP under Linux

[Saman_T_]

I am a newbie to IPP. I would thank if you answer my questions and if I am wrong guide me through the process.

1. Is here the right place to ask IPP programming questions?

2. I need to install IPP on my ubuntu 12.x machine. Could anyone give me instruction how to accomplish that?

3.Let's take a look at this function presented by IPP tutorial:

#define genPRINT(TYPE,FMT) \
void printf_##TYPE(const char* msg, Ipp##TYPE* buf, int len, IppStatus st ) { \
int n; \
if( st > ippStsNoErr ) \
printf( "-- warning %d, %s\n", st, ippGetStatusString( st )); \
else if( st < ippStsNoErr ) \
printf( "-- error %d, %s\n", st, ippGetStatusString( st )); \
printf(" %s ", msg ); \
for( n=0; n<len; ++n ) printf( FMT, buf ); \
printf("\n" ); \
}

This is very weird. The function prototype gets TYPE and FMT. But, how are the len and msg parameters in print_##TYPE being set?

>>...This is very weird. The function prototype gets TYPE and FMT. But, how are the len and msg parameters >>in print_##TYPE being set? This is the macro and this is Not the function. A C/C++ compiler will substitute ##PARAM arguments with some values at compile time ( Not at runtime! ).

Thanks, could you also answer question number 1 and 2 please.

>>1. Is here the right place to ask IPP programming questions? Yes, This is the forum where anybody could ask a question about Intel IPP library or report a problem. >>2. I need to install IPP on my ubuntu 12.x machine. Could anyone give me instruction how to accomplish that? There are lots of articles related to IPP library on Intel's website.
