[LLVMdev] [PATCH] CPUID for Win64

[Nicolas Capens]

Hi all,

 

Please consider applying the attached patch. Currently on Windows x86-64 the
processor features are not detected because the inline assembly (which
Visual C++ deprecated for x64) does not have an alternative that uses
intrinsics. Later tests for x86-64 then only enable SSE2, leaving any more
recent instruction set unused.

 

The patch uses the __cpuid intrinsic that compile under 32-bit as well as
64-bit. I've only tested it with my own experimental project on Windows x64
but I see no potential issues for other platforms. A potential additional
improvement would be to cause a compiler error when the GetCpuIDAndInfo does
not compile to the intended code, and to remove the test that follows right
after AutoDetectSubtargetFeatures() has been called.

 

Kind regards,

 

Nicolas
