@ -140,8 +142,7 @@ GLM is a header only library that makes a heavy usage of C++ templates.
This design may significantly increase the compile time for files that use GLM. Hence, it is important to limit GLM inclusion to header and source files that actually use it. Likewise, GLM extensions should be
included only in program sources using them.
To further help compilation time, GLM 0.9.5 introduced
&lt;glm/fwd.hpp&gt; that provides forward declarations of GLM types.

GLM provides some SIMD optimizations based on [compiler intrinsics](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/26td21ds.aspx).
These optimizations will be automatically thanks to compiler arguments.
For example, if a program is compiled with Visual Studio using
/arch:AVX, GLM will detect this argument and generate code using AVX
instructions automatically when available.
It’s possible to avoid the instruction set detection by forcing the use
of a specific instruction set with one of the fallowing define:
GLM\_FORCE\_SSE2, GLM\_FORCE\_SSE3, GLM\_FORCE\_SSSE3,
GLM\_FORCE\_SSE41, GLM\_FORCE\_SSE42, GLM\_FORCE\_AVX, GLM\_FORCE\_AVX2
