Pretty certain that's a FreeBSD only section (see the #ifdef on line 581) - I was only using it as an example that some platforms don't rely on the OS. do_cpuid() likely calls the cpuid instruction(s) directly to get info from the processor. Linux appears to use /proc/cpuinfo now: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/trunk/boinc/client/hostinfo_unix.cpp#L400 Which I find quite horrible, but I wouldn't know of an alternative :) - Urias _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
