SDL_HasSSE2(3)

💖 SDL_HasSSE2(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, where we ask your CPU the most personal question imaginable: do you have SSE2 features? ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_HasSSE2 — the lil function that figures out whether your CPU has SSE2 features 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_cpuinfo.h>

bool SDL_HasSSE2(void);

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. one include, one call, zero arguments. iconic 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe: SDL_HasSSE2 checks whether your CPU is out here rockin' with SSE2 features. 🫶

But listen — on CPUs that aren't using Intel instruction sets, this always returns false. Always. No cap. It's not being shady, it's just literally not applicable to those chips, so it says false and moves on with its day. 😭

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• true — your CPU has SSE2 features, slay 💅
• false — it does not. no SSE2 for you, bestie 🙈

---

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

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

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

This function has been available since SDL 3.2.0. So if you're on anything older... babe, upgrade. 💀
