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 <mpetch@capp-sysware.com> +# +# 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.
