# 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_SSSE3 / HAVE_SSE4.1

# NOTE: The functionality that requests the cpuid has been stripped because

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