Dear Agner,

I was using vectorclass a lot, thanks for the great library! Recently I observed a segmentation fault in Windows AVX, which I could track down to this code:

static inline Vec4d round(Vec4d const & a) {
return _mm256_round_pd(a, 0);
}

(vectorf256.h)

Then I looked up what this _mm256_round_pd does, and came across this web site:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/583043

Apparently the 2nd parameter can only be 0x0A and 0x09 according to this description. Could it be due to this problem?

Interestingly my code only crashed in Windows but not Mac OS X or Linux.

Thanks for looking into this

Minh
