# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_GCC_X86_AVX_XGETBV
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# On later x86 processors with AVX SIMD support, with gcc or a compiler
# that has a compatible syntax for inline assembly instructions, run a
# small program that executes the xgetbv instruction with input OP. This
# can be used to detect if the OS supports AVX instruction usage.
#
# On output, the values of the eax and edx registers are stored as
# hexadecimal strings as "eax:edx" in the cache variable
# ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv.
#
# If the xgetbv instruction fails (because you are running a
# cross-compiler, or because you are not using gcc, or because you are on
# a processor that doesn't have this instruction),
# ax_cv_gcc_x86_avx_xgetbv_OP is set to the string "unknown".
#
# This macro mainly exists to be used in AX_EXT.
