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.
So any interest for it?
I am currently evaluating the library
http://libcpuid.sourceforge.net/
This has a permissive license that I think can go with the Boost license.
I mailed the author also, although he does not use boost, he told he can
give any fixes or support needed.
~Thanks
