Description

CPU feature detection for development builds helps applications inspect processor capabilities before using optimized instructions. The Git package is useful when a project needs the current upstream version from Google.

It is a dependency for developers and performance-sensitive software, not a user-facing tuning utility. Applications still decide how to use the detected features, so behavior depends on the program that links to it.
