SDL_HasNEON(3)

✨ SDL_HasNEON ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 functions corner of the man pages, this one's SDL_HasNEON(3) and it's literally so simple you're gonna be obsessed 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_HasNEON — the lil vibe check that tells you whether your CPU has NEON (ARM SIMD) features 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_cpuinfo.h>

bool SDL_HasNEON(void);

like. that's the whole thing. one include, one function, zero arguments. slay ✨

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea: this function peeks at your CPU and tells you if it's got NEON going on, which is the ARM SIMD situation 👑

But important: on CPUs that aren't using ARM instruction sets, this always returns false. Always. No exceptions, no "well maybe", just false. Not me being dramatic, that's just literally what it does 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• returns true if the CPU has ARM NEON features 🌈
• returns false if it does not 🙈

that's it. that's the whole return value situation. periodt 💅

---

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

You can call this from any thread. Any of them. All of them. Go wild, bestie, it's safe 😌✨

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

This icon has been serving since SDL 3.2.0 💜

---

fr fr the only thing you gotta remember is: ARM = maybe true, not-ARM = definitely false. no cap. 🍓
