okay bestie, welcome to check_cpu(3alleg4) 💅 this one lives in the Allegro game programming library, and it's honestly a little legend. she's short, she's sweet, she knows what your CPU is. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void check_cpu();

like, that's the entire vibe. one include, one function, zero arguments. she takes nothing and she gives you everything 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so check_cpu() goes and detects the CPU type, and while she's at it she sets the following global variables. yeah. the girl works in mysterious ways and also in global variables, which is very her 👑

lowkey important: you don't normally need to call this yourself, because allegro_init() will do it for you. it's giving "I already handled it, bestie, relax" 😌 so unless you have a very specific reason, let Allegro do her thing.
