CPU feature detection for SDL.

Consts

CACHELINE_SIZE* = 128: This is a guess for the cacheline size used for padding. Most x86 processors have a 64 byte cache line. The 64-bit PowerPC processors have a 128 byte cache line. We'll use the larger value to be generally safe.

proc getCPUCount*(): cint {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_GetCPUCount", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns the number of CPU cores available.

proc getCPUCacheLineSize*(): cint {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_GetCPUCacheLineSize", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns the L1 cache line size of the CPU

This is useful for determining multi-threaded structure padding or SIMD prefetch sizes.

proc hasRDTSC*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasRDTSC", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has the RDTSC instruction.

proc hasAltiVec*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasAltiVec", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has AltiVec features.

proc hasMMX*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasMMX", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has MMX features.

proc has3DNow*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_Has3DNow", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has 3DNow! features.

proc hasSSE*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasSSE", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has SSE features.

proc hasSSE2*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasSSE2", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has SSE2 features.

proc hasSSE3*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasSSE3", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has SSE3 features.

proc hasSSE41*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasSSE41", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has SSE4.1 features.

proc hasSSE42*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasSSE42", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has SSE4.2 features.

proc hasAVX*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasAVX", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has AVX features.

proc hasAVX2*(): bool {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_HasAVX2", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns true if the CPU has AVX2 features.

proc getSystemRAM*(): cint {. cdecl, importc: "SDL_GetSystemRAM", dynlib: SDL2_LIB .}

This procedure returns the amount of RAM configured in the system, in MB.
