Question about hardware_destructive_interference_size for riscv64

Hi there,

First time posting here so sorry if I posted to the wrong lists.

I have a question about the std::hardware_destructive_interference_size constant value on riscv64.

As documented on cppreference[1], hardware_destructive_interference_size provide a portable way to access the L1 data cache line size. And Raymond mentions hardware_destructive_interference_size tells you (basically) the size of a cache line in his blog[2].

But this value is 32 for riscv64, which seems wrong to me because IIRC many riscv64 cpus have cacheline of size 64.

This value is defined to be __GCC_DESTRUCTIVE_SIZE. And Clang takes this value from gcc when implementing their __GCC_DESTRUCTIVE_SIZE. In general I am not familiar with the gcc code base and didn't find the definition of this constant for riscv64 target. So I would really appreciate it if anyone could explain why this value is 32 for riscv64.

And here's a godbolt link: https://godbolt.org/z/avWMbr8dK
