When Libav performs CPU feature detection (i.e., does this chip have VFP or NEON?) on ARM, the options are determined at compile time. This is in contrast to x86 where it performs feature detection at run time.

I just wanted to learn about the reasoning behind this. Is it not possible to do run time feature detection on ARM? Or was it reasoned that run time feature detection isn't as useful for a primarily embedded platform (where software will be more static)?

Thanks,
