CPUID Test piece for later Intel processors.

[qWord]

You may add some error handling code for the APIs.
Also, InitCommonControlsEx is called from a very "unusual place".

Hi, Steve!

Just wondering why it's crashing. Could you run this command in the DOS box (cmd.exe) to get some more info?

Code Select Expand


ntsd intelmmi.exe


and then, when the new DEBUG-like debugger console window will open, type in it:

Code Select Expand


g [enter]


after that the debugged program will hang (crash) and control will be passed to a debugger (a prompt like 0:000> will appear in the debugger console window), type in the debugger:

Code Select Expand


kb [enter]


Contents of the console (entire or just info that was output after "kb") is a useful info which could help to find a bug.

Hi Antariy

   Okay, will do.

...

   Hope that helps.

Hi, Steve!

Yes, it have helped, thank you very much!

The bug (edited: to make it clear - it is not mine, as well as the program) is in get_cpu_id_string function. It doesn't preserve EBX before CPUID instructions at start of function.

[Antariy]

Here is some incredible code. It just requires to copy and paste the source below directly into the console (on 32 bit OSes, x64 do not support 16 bit apps) to compile. Then type ATXT and this cool advanced CPUID proggie will run

yes - i seem to recall that some earlier processors altered SP before the PUSH instead of after

I have one to check ht support and core count, but is fasm. The only significant difference between fasm and masm is the use of brackets, so its not much difference.
