## Detailed Description

The `cpufeatures` module offers properties for enabling or disabling specific CPU features. Use it if you want to override the compiler defaults for a given platform.

The compiler rules in the cpp module evaluate this module's properties and generate matching compiler flags. All properties in this module are of type `bool` and have the following semantics:

- The default value `undefined` has no effect on the compiler command line.
- If the value is `true` and the compiler has a flag to enable the feature, that flag is added to the command line if it is applicable to the current architecture. For example, enabling the property `x86_sse2` would result in the GCC option `-msse2`.
- If the value is `false` and the compiler has a flag to disable the feature, that flag is added to the command line if it is applicable to the current architecture. For example, disabling the property `x86_sse2` would result in the GCC option `-no-msse2`.
