------- Additional Comments From z_god@wanadoo.nl 2003-20-06 08:10 ------- Bug comments restored from Gmane.org:
Currently GetSystemInfo reads the CPU information from /proc/cpuinfo. The problem is that this only works on Linux and other x86-based platform only get the defaults which are certainly not optimal for current CPUs. One potential issue is that pre-586 (or is it pre-486) processors don't support the CPUID instruction. But this it not a big issue and can probably be handled in some way. I have set this bug's platform to FreeBSD but this is just as valid for Solaris x86.
------- Additional Comments From marcus <at> jet.franken.de 2002-07-19 03:47 ------- If you want to use CPUID, use an exception handler around the instruction which will trigger if it is not there.
Otherwise I do not see a problem to implement it for !Linux x86 systems.
