Probably a bug in juce_getCpuVendor()

Windows
#1

The stack is corrupted in _getCpuVendor() function

to reproduce the bug, I used the example project included in juce 1.26, line 48:

  •    g.drawText (T("click on this window to quit..."),

  •    g.drawText (SystemStats::getCpuVendor(),

The error gets spotted by visual c++ 2003, when in debug build.
“RTC failure #2 - Stack around the variable ‘vendor’ was corrupted”.

In release build, the resulting string is empty.

My cpu is reported by windows as “AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor”.

cheers

I just had a fix in for this one:

static void juce_getCpuVendor (char* const v)
{
    int vendor[4];
    zeromem (vendor, 16);


    __try

    {

        __asm__ __volatile__ (
            "movl 0, %%eax             \n\
             cpuid                     \n\
             movl %%ebx, %[vendor1]    \n\
             movl %%edx, %[vendor2]    \n\
             movl %%ecx, %[vendor3]"
             :
             : [vendor1] "m" (vendor[0]),
               [vendor2] "m" (vendor[1]),
               [vendor3] "m" (vendor[2])
             : "cc", "eax", "ebx", "ecx", "edx", "memory");

        __asm
        {
            mov eax, 0
            cpuid
            mov [vendor], ebx
            mov [vendor + 4], edx
            mov [vendor + 8], ecx
        }

    }

    __except (EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER)
    {
        *v = 0;
    }


    memcpy (v, vendor, 16);
}
