Using CPUID with GCC

[AlfaOmega08]

I'm trying to read the information of the CPU by the CPUID instruction. With Dev C++ I've wrote this code:

int rEBX, rECX, rEDX;

asm {
MOV EAX, 0
CPUID
MOV DWORD PTR rEBX, EBX
MOV DWORD PTR rECX, ECX
MOV DWORD PTR rEDX, EDX
}

How can I write this in AT&T syntax for gcc?

Some time ago, I posted my own CPUID implementation on the forums.. you're free to take a look at it.

But as for your question:

Code: Select all

#define cpuid(in, a, b, c, d) \
	__asm__ __volatile__("cpuid": "=a" (a), "=b" (b), "=c" (c), "=d" (d) : "a" (in));

You may wish to expand that into a function though... whichever makes it easier.

The basic syntax is:

Code: Select all

__asm__ ("instruction"
			: outputs
			: inputs
			: clobbered registers
			);

Hope that helps..
