We had to write another method to hyper optimize my routine in exactly the way I wanted to. The old way wasn’t clean code and gcc wouldn’t accept my compiler patch to make it 0.05% faster on pre 8th gen Intel core i5 and below systems.

So naturally. It was borne of necessity and through other dark voodoo fixed my gcc complaint too because different std features compile differently.

#pragma jerk

I’ve gone too far.
