GetEnabledXStateFeatures function (winbase.h)
Gets a mask of enabled XState features on x86 or x64 processors.
The definition of XState feature bits are processor vendor specific. Please refer to the relevant processor reference manuals for additional information on a particular feature.
Syntax
DWORD64 GetEnabledXStateFeatures();
Return value
This function returns a bitmask in which each bit represents an XState feature that is enabled on the system.
Remarks
An application should call this function to determine what features are present and enabled on the system before using an XState processor feature or attempting to manipulate XState contexts. Bits 0 and 1 refer to the X87 FPU and the presence of SSE registers, respectively. The meanings of specific feature bits beyond 0 and 1 are defined in the Programmer Reference Manuals released by the processor vendors.
Windows 7 with SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1: The AVX API is first implemented on Windows 7 with SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 . Since there is no SDK for SP1, that means there are no available headers and library files to work with. In this situation, a caller must declare the needed functions from this documentation and get pointers to them using GetModuleHandle on "Kernel32.dll", followed by calls to GetProcAddress. See Working with XState Context for details.
