| Description: |
Tcl: 8.5.12
OS: Solaris 5.10 on AMD64
Doing a
$ sh .../tcl8.5/unix/configure --enable-64bit --prefix=`pwd`/..
$ make test
gives one failing test case:
==== platform-3.1 CPU ID on Windows/UNIX FAILED
==== Contents of test case:
set cpudata [testcpuid 0]
binary format iii [lindex $cpudata 1] [lindex $cpudata 3] [lindex $cpudata 2]
---- Result was:
�� )D
---- Result should have been (regexp matching):
^(?:AuthenticAMD|CentaurHauls|CyrixInstead|GenuineIntel)$
==== platform-3.1 FAILED

So Studio 12 isn't a good choice to use here, Studio 12.1 works, however. So it can be closed. Sorry for any inconvenience. nijtmans added on 2012-09-27 19:32:46: > http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/819-2254/6n4iaouu6/index.html That page is about the cpuid device, not about the cpuid assembler instruction. Part of this page: >The device is useful to enable low-level configuration information to > be extracted from the CPU without having to write any assembler code > to invoke the cpuid instruction directly. Well, Tcl now contains the assembler code which invokes the cpuid instruction directly, so it should simply work.. It will need some debugging. The assembler code is borrowed from: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPUID> and can be found in unix/tclUnixCompat.c:990-995. matzek added on 2012-09-27 19:02:43: I looked into a library I have here and found a comment to the cpuid manual page for Solaris. The comment basically says that the Linux way isn't going to work on Solaris. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/819-2254/6n4iaouu6/index.html nijtmans added on 2012-09-27 17:26:13: According to what I can find, I would expect "AuthenticAMD" as well.

Exactly what processor does this machine have? | |||
