/**
 * SkOpts (short for SkOptimizations) is a mechanism where we can ship with multiple implementations
 * of a set of functions and dynamically choose the best one at runtime (e.g. the call to
 * SkGraphics::Init(), which calls SkOpts::Init()) depending on the detected CPU features. This is
 * also referred to as having "specializations" of a given function.
 *
 * For example, Skia might be compiled to support CPUs that only have the sse2 instruction set
 * (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings#SSE2_instructions)
 * but may be run on a more modern CPU that supports AVX2 instructions.
 * (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions)
 * SkOpts allow Skia to have two versions of a row-blitting function, one that uses normal C++
 * code (e.g. loops, scalar integer math) and one that makes use of the AVX2 vector types and
 * intrinsic functions. This function is declared here in the SkOpts namespace, and then the
 * implementation (see SkOpts.cpp) is deferred to a function of the same name in the sse2::
 * namespace (the minimum Skia is compiled with) using DEFINE_DEFAULT.
 *
 * All implementations of this blit function are done in a header file file in //src/opts
 * (e.g. //src/opts/SkBlitRow_opts.h). ifdefs guard each of the implementations, such that only
 * one implementation is possible for a given SK_CPU_SSE_LEVEL. This header will be compiled
 * *multiple* times with a different SK_CPU_SSE_LEVEL each compilation.
 *
 * Each CPU instruction set that we want specializations for has a .cpp file in //src/opts which
 * defines an Init() function that replaces the function pointers in the SkOpts namespace with the
 * ones from the specialized namespace (e.g. hsw::). These .cpp files don't implement the
 * specializations, they just refer to the specialization created in the header files (e.g.
 * SkBlitRow_opts.h).
 *
 * At compile time:
 *   - SkOpts.cpp is compiled with the minimum CPU level (e.g. SSE2). Because this
 *     file includes all the headers in //src/opts/, those headers add "the default implementation"
 *     of all their functions to the SK_OPTS_NS namespace (e.g. sse2::blit_row_color32).
 *   - Each of the specialized .cpp files in //src/opts/ are compiled with their respective
 *     compiler flags. Because the specialized .cpp file includes the headers that implement the
 *     functions using intrinsics or other CPU-specific code, those specialized functions end up
 *     in the specialized namespace, e.g. (hsw::blit_row_color32).
 *
 * At link time, the default implementations and all specializations of all SkOpts functions are
 * included in the resulting library/binary file.
 *
 * At runtime, SkOpts::Init() will run the appropriate Init functions that the current CPU level
 * supports specializations for (e.g. Init_hsw, Init_ssse3). Note multiple Init functions can
 * be called as CPU instruction sets are typically super sets of older instruction sets
