Does anyone know how to get information on the processor without using __cpuid or asm?
I don't see why people think Chuck Norris is so awesome. If he was really as great as they say, he would be over here slamming my head into the keybsk;lah;flksalfksdnlcslcnsldk;acklsd;glfbaskfl

cat /proc/cpuinfo
And for windows, you can read the registry at HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\...
Or use WMI.

what information are you lookign for? there are several API command sin windows to return infoz aboutthe hardware.
Until you can build a working general purpose reprogrammable computer out of basic components from radio shack, you are not fit to call yourself a programmer in my presence. This is cwhizard, signing off.
This is on windows.
I don't want to read reg (it's unreliable).
And these APIs are never in-depth enough.

I'll repeat abachler's question: what information are you interested in?
All the buzzt!

never mind, I figured out how to get inline asm to access c++ vars. thanks anyway

It would still be useful to know what information you were actually after, because there may be better ways to solve the problem - particularly as inline assembler is not supported for x64.Originally Posted by Yarin

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
I was looking for cpuid information (eas: 0)
So basicly, I now have a function that sets a string defining the processor name
