[New-bugs-announce] [issue41286] Built-in platform module does not offer to check for processor instructions

[Boštjan Mejak]

New submission from Boštjan Mejak <bostjan.xperia at gmail.com>:

The platform module does not offer to check whether a processor supports the POPCNT or BMI/BMI2 processor instructions. Am I missing something or is it actually missing this feature?
