Platform Support Limitations:

  • Library designed specifically for AMD Zen architecture

  • No plans to support other x86 implementations (Intel, VIA, etc.)

  • Some utilities may fail or behave unexpectedly on older AMD architectures (pre-Zen)

  • Non-AMD CPUs will be correctly identified (not an error)

Windows Testing Limitations:

  • Tests disabled on Windows

  • Reason: QEMU-user unavailable on Windows

  • Impact: Cannot run full test suite on Windows builds

  • Mitigation: Test on Linux or rely on pre-release testing

Deprecated API Warnings:

  • Old ALCI APIs (Bcl/alci/*) deprecated since version 4.2

  • Will be removed in a future release

  • Workaround: Enable with AU_ENABLE_OLD_API=ON if needed

  • Recommendation: Migrate to new APIs (Au::X86Cpu, au_cpuid_*)
