@galabovaa The issue mentions a SIGILL when running on older x86_64 CPUs such as a Core 2 Duo. I will defer to your expertise but I am wondering if we can get away with checking compiler support only for the POPCNT instruction ? While this doesn't do runtime CPU detection, in practice modern compilers are pretty good at handling CPU compatibility issues. If the flag is supported but the CPU doesn't support the instruction, most compilers will generate appropriate fallback code.
If you think this is not sufficient, I am happy to add something like this to detect cpu support:
Also, I think this message is slightly misleading for two reasons:
