@Mathias: thanks for noting it down. I think it will be more usable with
docs, because people may not always have time to search the source. I value
your comments about libcpuid.
@Antony: Thanks for link.
My intention is about a library that can give details about a cpu features,
and gpu features if possible. May be libcpuid is not the perfect yet, but
can be a starting point to improve. May be I can start it as a separate
project for my game engine and later merge if useful.
