Notes for Future Maintainers

This was originally imported by @miniksa in March 2020.

The provenance information (where it came from and which commit) is stored in the file cgmanifest.json in the same directory as this readme. Please update the provenance information in that file when ingesting an updated version of the dependent library. That provenance file is automatically read and inventoried by Microsoft systems to ensure compliance with appropriate governance standards.

What should be done to update this in the future?

1. Go to kimwalisch/libpopcnt repository on GitHub.
2. Take the libpopcnt.h file.
3. Don't change anything about it.
4. Validate that the LICENSE in the root of the repository didn't change and update it if so. It is sitting in the same directory as this readme. If it changed dramatically, ensure that it is still compatible with our license scheme. Also update the NOTICE file in the root of our repository to declare the third-party usage.
5. Submit the pull.
