OK, so I was being overly clever, showing off a bit, demonstrating that
it's possible to build a minimal DLL in assembler. It turns out you can
do the same thing in Visual C++:
c:\tmp>type cpuid.c
#include <intrin.h>
int
GetCpuidEcx( int var )
{
int parts[4];
__cpuid( parts, var );
return parts[2];
}
int
GetCpuidEdx( int var )
{
int parts[4];
__cpuid( parts, var );
return parts[3];
}
C:\tmp>cl /LD cpuid.c
