Summary:
I'm using the built-in preprocessor define __ARM_FEATURE_CRC32 to check if the CPU supports the crc32 instructions. If so, I use the __crc32* intrinsics. However, when running on an iPhone6S, I get an EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an iOS UI application
2. open main.m
3. add: #include <arm_acle.h>
4. replace main with the code below
5. build&run on an iPhone6S (or probably any arm64 device)

Replacement main:

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
#if __ARM_FEATURE_CRC32
    NSLog(@"crc32 feature is there!");
    int result = __crc32b(argc, 1);
    NSLog(@"result: %d", result);
#else
    NSLog(@"no crc32 feature");
#endif
    @autoreleasepool {
        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
}


Expected Results:
When the CPU does support the crc32 instruction, I expect no crash. If the CPU does NOT support it, I expect __ARM_FEATURE_CRC32 to either be defined as 0 (zero), or not defined at all.

So, for the example above, I would expect it to either show "no crc32 feature", or to show "crc32 feature is there!" followed by a line starting with "result:".

Actual Results:
This will show "crc32 feature is there!", but crash on the next line where the __crc32b intrinsic is called.

Version:
OSX 10.11.3
