+- The build macro `STATIC_BMI2` can be set to 1 to force usage of `bmi2` instructions.
+  It is generally not necessary to set this build macro,

 - The build macro `DYNAMIC_BMI2` can be set to 1 or 0 in order to generate binaries
   which can detect at runtime the presence of BMI2 instructions, and use them only if present.
   These instructions contribute to better performance, notably on the decoder side.
