aarch64_features - A feature detector for AArch64 features, i.e., FEAT_LSE?

This crate checks for available features of AArch64 cores. It strives for completeness instead of focussing on the favorite features.

Update your Cargo.toml

 [dependencies]
 aarch64_features = "0.1.0"

and then

 use aarch64_features::{check_features, Feature};

 fn main() {
   let features = check_features();

   if features.contains(&Feature::FEAT_LSE) {
     println!("happy");
   }
}

supported configurations:

Linux AArch64
macOS AArch64
Windows on ARM.
anything not AArch64

Caveats

The Linux kernel only exposes a subset of the features to userspace, see feature registers. The set changes over time and thus the reported features of this crate can change between versions.

If you have a big little cpu, then you may want to pin the current thread.
