getSystemInfo

[cecilcheah]

In the WinAPI, getSystemInfo is a subroutine rather than a function, how can i retireve say the CPU speed with the getSystemInfo?

Thanks

You just pass the pointer to a SYSTEM_INFO Structure to the GetSystemInfo_()
function, and it fills the structure with information.

GetSystemInfo_(@info.SYSTEM_INFO)

now the info structure contains all information.
However, i don't see how you want to get the CPU speed out of this.
As far a I can see, this structure doesn't contain information about this.

imho the best way is to use SRGET library for PB... there are lots of opts.. Just search it on PB forums and resources site.. Besides there are a lot of libs for such tasks

What am I doing wrong here?

Code: Select all

Structure SysInfo
  dwOemId.w
  wProcessorArchitecture.w
  wReserved.w
  dwPageSize.w
  lpMinimumApplicationAddress.l
  lpMaximumApplicationAddress.l
  dwActiveProcessorMask.w
  dwNumberOfProcessors.w
  dwProcessorType.w
  dwAllocationGranularity.w
  wProcessorLevel.w
  wProcessorRevision.w
EndStructure

GetSystemInfo_(@wProcessorArchitecture.SysInfo)
Debug PeekS(@wProcessorArchitecture)

I also tried this

Code: Select all

*Result = GetSystemInfo_(@wProcessorArchitecture.SysInfo)
Debug PeekS(*Result)

but it doesn't return anything.

My take on it would be something like this...

Code: Select all

Structure SysInfo
  StructureUnion 
    dwOemId.l
    wProcessorArchitecture.w 
    wReserved.w 
  EndStructureUnion 
  dwPageSize.l 
  lpMinimumApplicationAddress.l 
  lpMaximumApplicationAddress.l 
  dwActiveProcessorMask.l 
  dwNumberOfProcessors.l 
  dwProcessorType.l 
  dwAllocationGranularity.l 
  wProcessorLevel.w
  wProcessorRevision.w
EndStructure

GetSystemInfo_(@si.SysInfo)


Debug si\wProcessorArchitecture
Debug "---"
Debug si\dwPageSize
Debug si\dwActiveProcessorMask
Debug si\dwNumberOfProcessors
Debug si\dwProcessorType
Debug si\wProcessorLevel

If running on a PC, wProcessorArchitecture would return 0 since #PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL=0


Warning: don't use PB's built in structure for SYSTEM_INFO since it contains spelling errors and is missing the union.


And as Freak said, there is no processor speed info available in this.

Great.
Thanks alot Paul
