Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 18:18:13 -0600 From: Tyler Montbriand Subject: [SDL] Detecting Opteron CPU features I can now get SDL_cpuinfo.c to detect the AMD Opteron's RDTSC, MMX, MMXEXT, 3DNOW, 3DNOWEXT, SSE, and SSE2 instruction set extensions under Linux. It took one #ifdef'ed block of new asm code to account for the 64-bit flags register, but the other two blocks worked fine without modification, just needed to modify the #ifdef's a bit.

#!/bin/sh
#
# libtool assumes that the compiler can handle the -fPIC flag
# This isn't always true (for example, nasm can't handle it)
command=""
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
    case "$1" in
        -?PIC)
            # Ignore -fPIC and -DPIC options
            ;;
        *)
            command="$command $1"
            ;;
    esac
    shift
done
echo $command
exec $command
