Package: libcpu-features-dev (0.7.0-1)

cross platform C99 library to get cpu features

Cross-platform C library to retrieve CPU features(such as available instructions) at runtime.

Design rationale:

 * Simple to use.
 * Extensible. Easy to add missing features or architectures.
 * Compatible with old compilers and available on many architectures so it
   can be used widely. It's implemented it in C99.
 * Sandbox-compatible. The library uses a variety of strategies to cope with
   sandboxed environments or when cpuid is unavailable.
 * Thread safe, no memory allocation, and raises no exceptions. cpu_features
   is suitable for implementing fundamental libc functions like malloc,
   memcpy, and memcmp.
 * Unit tested.
