This is needed to support CHERI, and thus Arm's experimental Morello
prototype, where pointers are implemented using unforgeable capabilities
that include bounds and permissions metadata to provide fine-grained
spatial and referential memory safety, as well as revocation by sweeping
memory to provide heap temporal memory safety.
The C standard does not guarantee that if two pointers compare equal
they are the same pointer, as C pointers have a notion of provenance,
and compilers have been known to exploit this during optimisation. For
CHERI, this becomes even more important, as in-place expansion can
result in realloc returning a capability to the same address but with
increased capability bounds, and so reusing the old capability will trap
trying to access outside the bounds of the original allocation.
In the case that ptr == mem, memdiff and ptrdiff should still be equal,
so the only overhead is a small amount of pointer arithmetic and a store
of the new pointer (which is required per the C standard in order to not
be undefined behaviour when next loaded).
This also fixes the calculation of oldmem to use uintptr_t rather than
size_t as casting the pointer to size_t on CHERI will strip the
capability metadata, including the validity tag, with the subsequent
cast back to void * resulting in a null-derived capability whose
validity tag is clear and thus cannot be dereferenced without trapping.
The clang-cl compiler defines `__llvm__` but not `__GNUC__`. The `__cpuid` intrinsic doesn't seem to exist with clang-cl, so the code won't link properly. The `__GNUC__` versions of these functions will work properly on Windows with clang-cl.

MCST Elbrus 2000 (E2K, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus_2000) is a russian processor architecture based on VLIW/EPIC instruction set (like Intel Itanium (IA-64) architecture). Architecture has half native / half software support of most Intel/AMD SIMD (e.g. MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4.1/SSE4.2/AES/AVX/AVX2 & 3DNow!/SSE4a/XOP/FMA4).
It also has built-in x86/x86_64 <-> e2k binary translators (RTC, http://www.mcst.ru/rtc and Lintel, http://www.mcst.ru/lintel) that can run code for x86/x86_64 architecture (Transmeta did something similiar with their Crusoe series) with SIMD extensions support.
Attached patch allows SDL2 to detect extensions supported by E2K like MMX, 3dNOW!, AVX etc. (test/testplatform log: https://termbin.com/7qs3).
CPU Vendor ID "Shanghai" and "CentaurHauls" belongs to Zhaoxin.

Best regards.
Background:
Chengdu Haiguang IC Design Co., Ltd (Hygon) is a Joint Venture
between AMD and Haiguang Information Technology Co.,Ltd., aims at
providing high performance x86 processor for China server market.
Its first generation processor codename is Dhyana, which
originates from AMD technology and shares most of the
architecture with AMD's family 17h, but with different CPU Vendor
ID("HygonGenuine")/Family series number(Family 18h).

Visual Studio doesn't define __ARM_ARCH nor _ARM_NEON, but _M_ARM and _M_ARM64,
so SDL_HasNEON() was bypassed.
PF_ARM_NEON_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE doesn't see to be defined (but still works
when defined as 19).
