Hello!
The MPlayer documentation maintainer with shameless requests again ;-)
I have a few questions about /proc/cpuinfo.
On my machine I get the following output under Cygwin:
processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD type : primary processor cpu family : 5 model : 13 model name : AMD-K6(tm)-III Processor stepping : 0 brand id : 0 cpu count : 0 apic id : 0 cpu MHz : 250 fpu : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx
which differs a bit from the output under Linux:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 5
model : 13
model name : AMD-K6(tm)-III Processor
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 501.121
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx syscall 3dnowext 3dnow k6_mtrr
bogomips : 999.42
The 250MHz under Cygwin are probably a bug, I have a 500MHz CPU.
The interesting field is flags, which we use in our configure script to check for processor capabilities and later optimize for the ones we find. Cygwin detects/displays less flags than Linux:
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx syscall 3dnowext 3dnow k6_mtrr
This is a pity as I now loose 3dnow and mtrr optimizations without manual tweaking.
I know that /proc/cpuinfo is very new on Cygwin. Is the lack of some flags a bug, or is this just implemented in a different way. Any chance of supporting those flags in the future?
If somebody decides to extends /proc/cpuinfo that would be tremendously appreciated. I'm not expecting anything, of course, just hoping.
Many thanks
Diego
