When you're working with native code, hardware matters. The NDK lets you ensure
you're compiling for the right architectures and CPUs by giving you a variety
of ABIs from which to choose.
This section explains how to target specific
architectures and CPUs at build time,
how to use ARM Neon extensions,
and how the CPU features library lets you query
optional features at run-time.
