// At least MSVC 9 (VS2008) and 12 (VS2013) have an optimizer bug that sometimes results in incorrect SIMD code
// generated in Release x64 mode. In particular, it affects operator==, where the compiler sometimes generates
// pcmpeqd with a memory opereand instead of movdqu followed by pcmpeqd. The problem is that uuid can be
// not aligned to 16 bytes and pcmpeqd causes alignment violation in this case. We cannot be sure that other
// MSVC versions are not affected so we apply the workaround for all versions, except VS2015 on up where
// the bug has been fixed.

    // To emulate lexicographical_compare behavior we have to perform two comparisons - the forward and reverse one.
    // Then we know which bytes are equivalent and which ones are different, and for those different the comparison results
    // will be opposite. Then we'll be able to find the first differing comparison result (for both forward and reverse ways),
    // and depending on which way it is for, this will be the result of the operation. There are a few notes to consider:
    //
    // 1. Due to little endian byte order the first bytes go into the lower part of the xmm registers,
    //    so the comparison results in the least significant bits will actually be the most signigicant for the final operation result.
    //    This means we have to determine which of the comparison results have the least significant bit on, and this is achieved with
    //    the "(x - 1) ^ x" trick.
    // 2. Because there is only signed comparison in SSE/AVX, we have to invert byte comparison results whenever signs of the corresponding
    //    bytes are different. I.e. in signed comparison it's -1 < 1, but in unsigned it is the opposite (255 > 1). To do that we XOR left and right,
    //    making the most significant bit of each byte 1 if the signs are different, and later apply this mask with another XOR to the comparison results.
    // 3. pcmpgtw compares for "greater" relation, so we swap the arguments to get what we need.
