I can. I took another look just now:
-# Check for __get_cpuid_count() and __cpuidex() in a similar fashion.
+# Check for __get_cpuid_count() and __cpuidex() separately, since we sometimes
+# need __cpuidex() even if __get_cpuid_count() is available.
I'm not sure we need to document here that we need them separately. It
seems more important to do that for the __cpuidex helper that's in a
later patch. I don't feel strongly, though.
I'd probably just do
# Check for __get_cpuid_count()
...
# Check for __cpuidex()
...
Either way, we do need a space between separate tests (ditto Meson).
+if cc.links('''
+ #ifdef _MSC_VER
#include <intrin.h>
+ #else
+ #include <cpuid.h>
+ #endif
int main(int arg, char **argv)
{
- unsigned int exx[4] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
+ int exx[4] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
__cpuidex(exx, 7, 0);
}
Hmm, maybe we can declare unsigned and cast to signed for MSVC as we
do where the code is used.
+# __cpuidex()
+AC_CACHE_CHECK([for __cpuidex], [pgac_cv__cpuidex],
+[AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([#ifdef _MSC_VER
+ #include <intrin.h>
+ #else
+ #include <cpuid.h>
+ #endif],
+ [[int exx[4] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
+ __cpuidex(exx, 7, 0);
+ ]])],
+ [pgac_cv__cpuidex="yes"],
+ [pgac_cv__cpuidex="no"])])
+if test x"$pgac_cv__cpuidex" = x"yes"; then
+ AC_DEFINE(HAVE__CPUIDEX, 1, [Define to 1 if you have __cpuidex.])
fi
MSVC doesn't use autoconf, so we can leave out the intrin.h and keep
using unsigned int.
-#if defined(HAVE__GET_CPUID) || defined(HAVE__GET_CPUID_COUNT)
-#include <cpuid.h>
-#endif
-
-#if defined(HAVE__CPUID) || defined(HAVE__CPUIDEX)
+#if defined(HAVE__CPUID) || defined(HAVE__GET_CPUID) ||
defined(HAVE__GET_CPUID_COUNT) || defined(HAVE__CPUIDEX)
+#if defined(_MSC_VER)
#include <intrin.h>
+#else
+#include <cpuid.h>
+#endif /* defined(_MSC_VER) */
#endif
Now I'm thinking at least one of these will be defined, otherwise we'd
have an #error, so we can just gate solely on _MSC_VER.
