* Added performance tests for hal::norm functions
* Added sum of absolute differences intrinsic
* norm implementation updated to use wide universal intrinsics
* improve and fix v_reduce_sad on VSX
- add infrastructure support for Power9/VSX3
- fix missing VSX flags on GCC4.9 and CLANG4(#13210, #13222)
- fix disable VSX optimzation on GCC by using flag ENABLE_VSX
- flag ENABLE_VSX is deprecated now, use CPU_BASELINE, CPU_DISPATCH instead
- add VSX3 to arithmetic dispatchable flags
* significantly reduced OpenCV binary size by disabling IPP calls in some OpenCV functions: Sobel, Scharr, medianBlur, GaussianBlur, filter2D, mean, meanStdDev, norm, sum, minMaxIdx, sort.
* re-enable IPP in norm, since it's much faster (without adding too much space overhead)
* integrated the new C++ persistence; removed old persistence; most of OpenCV compiles fine! the tests have not been run yet
* fixed multiple bugs in the new C++ persistence
* fixed raw size of the parsed empty sequences
* [temporarily] excluded obsolete applications traincascade and createsamples from build
* fixed several compiler warnings and multiple test failures
* undo changes in cocoa window rendering (that was fixed in another PR)
* fixed more compile warnings and the remaining test failures (hopefully)
* trying to fix the last little warning
- initialize arithmetic dispatcher
- add new universal intrinsic v_absdiffs
- add new universal intrinsic v_pack_b
- add accumulate version of universal intrinsic v_round
- fix sse/avx2:uint8 multiplication overflow
- reimplement arithmetic, logic and comparison operations into wide universal intrinsics
with full support for all types
- reimplement IPP arithmetic, logic and comparison operations in a sperate file arithm_ipp.hpp
- avoid scalar multiplication if scaling factor eq 1 and use integer multiplication
- move C arithmetic operations to precomp.hpp and delete [arithm_simd|arithm_core].hpp
- add compatibility with new opencv4 divide policy
Exceptions caught by value incur needless cost in C++, most of them can
be caught by const-reference, especially as nearly none are actually
used. This could allow compiler generate a slightly more efficient code.
