Android began restricting what APIs you could use in your app with Android 9:

Similarly, what is accessible from the NDK is limited: https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/stable_apis

As raggi mentioned above, you can use both.
The additional feature that FEMU provides us is Vulkan support, which allows you to interact with a GUI.
On the team, we use both. For example, I know many folks on the Zircon team prefer vanilla QEMU.

If you're willing to give it another go, you should try it in FEMU (our fork of QEMU):

My understanding is that they used to be, now they're all Cortex derivatives:

I was really excited for this, I want to buy it and am willing to compromise for 1st generation hardware. But no NFC means it impacts my life substantially, from payments to public transport. I hope they reconsider the lack of NFC for the next generation.

Doesn't Sony use clang? My understanding was LLVM does a better job at optimisation than MSVC.

Working on a hypervisor, I see this. It mostly crops up as things like IPIs being more costly when nested.

Could you explain what you mean? I'd like to understand your point of view.

This is based on a cursory examination of [1], so I may be off-base. But Xen appears to rely on the host for many things that can be, and often are, hardware accelerated in KVM. Searching for CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM, it doesn't appear to cover much.

KVM can take better advantage of hardware acceleration than Xen. Xen requires a modified guest, which traps back to the host more frequently.
What makes you say it's being killed?
