+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_EXT
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Find supported SIMD extensions by requesting cpuid. When an SIMD
+# extension is found, the -m"simdextensionname" is added to SIMD_FLAGS if
+# compiler supports it. For example, if "sse2" is available, then "-msse2"
+# is added to SIMD_FLAGS.
+#
+# This macro calls:
+#
+# AC_SUBST(SIMD_FLAGS)
+#
+# And defines:
+#
+# HAVE_AVX3 / HAVE_SSE3 / HAVE_SSE4.1

+# still need to check if the compiler supports the requested SIMD flag.
