# =========================================================================== # http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv.html # =========================================================================== # # SYNOPSIS # # AX_GCC_X86_AVX_XGETBV # # DESCRIPTION # # On later x86 processors with AVX SIMD support, with gcc or a compiler # that has a compatible syntax for inline assembly instructions, run a # small program that executes the xgetbv instruction with input OP. This # can be used to detect if the OS supports AVX instruction usage. # # On output, the values of the eax and edx registers are stored as # hexadecimal strings as "eax:edx" in the cache variable # ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv. # # If the xgetbv instruction fails (because you are running a # cross-compiler, or because you are not using gcc, or because you are on # a processor that doesn't have this instruction), # ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv_OP is set to the string "unknown". # # This macro mainly exists to be used in AX_EXT. # # LICENSE # # Copyright (c) 2013 Michael Petch # # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the # Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your # option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
