Hi All, Any interest in a cross platform CPU ID library? For a application I wanted to get the CPUID mostly to check the SSE2 status. So I missed it in Boost.
There is a SIMD library that will eventually be proposed to Boost. It contains among others means to detect whether a particular SIMD extension is supported, all of it header-only. You can re-use it or parts of it if you want, it's under the Boost Software license. <https://github.com/MetaScale/nt2/blob/master/modules/boost/simd/>
So any interest for it? I am currently evaluating the library http://libcpuid.sourceforge.net/
From a quick look, this library doesn't seem like it would work with MSVC x64. This actually fully parses the cpuid though.
