Message-ID: <85b57cc7-352e-4cee-a161-b0aaf1665305@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I am running into problems translating Intel style visual C inline assembly to something gnat can understand (http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw/Inline-Assembler.html#Inline-Assembler). The goal of the program is to test for the existence of the CPUID command which only exists after the 386.

The program as it stands compiles without any errors, but it will fail at runtime with the following printed: "raised PROGRAM_ERROR : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" -- I can't tell if I am violating syntax or something more complicated is involved.

///////////////////////////////////// Visual C code
static bool HasCPUID( void ) {
  __asm 
  {
      pushfd                // save eflags
      pop   eax
      test  eax, 0x00200000 // check ID bit
      jz    set21           // bit 21 is not set, so jump to set_21
      and   eax, 0xffdfffff // clear bit 21
      push  eax             // save new value in register
      popfd                 // store new value in flags
      pushfd
      pop   eax
      test  eax, 0x00200000 // check ID bit
      jz    good
      jmp   err             // cpuid not supported
    set21:
      or    eax, 0x00200000 // set ID bit
      push  eax             // store new value
      popfd                 // store new value in EFLAGS
      pushfd
      pop   eax
      test  eax, 0x00200000 // if bit 21 is on
      jnz   good
      jmp   err
  }
  err:
    return false;
  good:
    return true;
}
