See [x86-Built-in-Functions](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Built-in-Functions.html) for details. ```C __builtin_cpu_init(); if (__builtin_cpu_supports ("ssse3")) return ssse3_memcpy; // super fast memcpy with ssse3 instructions. else return default_memcpy; ``` Other helpful functions: ```C int __builtin_cpu_is(const char* cpuname)...
