IsProcessorFeaturePresent (Windows CE 5.0)
This function retrieves information about the supported features in your system.
BOOL IsProcessorFeaturePresent(DWORDdwProcessorFeature);
Parameters
dwProcessorFeature
[in] Specifies the flag for the feature that you want to verify support for.The following table shows the flags for ARM processor features.
Flag Description PF_ARM_V4 ARM architecture v4 PF_ARM_V5 ARM architecture v5 PF_ARM_V6 ARM architecture v6 PF_ARM_V7 ARM architecture v7 PF_ARM_THUMB Thumb instruction set PF_ARM_JAZELLE ARM Jazelle technology PF_ARM_DSP 'E' DSP instructions This flag is deprecated, but no additional flag is required because this is covered by ARMv5 and later.
PF_ARM_MOVE_CP ARM MOVE coprocessor PF_ARM_VFP10 VFP10 floating-point unit (FPU) This flag is deprecated. For the correct flags to use, please see the other VFP flags.
PF_ARM_MPU Support for memory protection unit (MPU) is available PF_ARM_WRITE_BUFFER Writeback buffer PF_ARM_MBX ARM MBX technology PF_ARM_L2CACHE Level 2 cache controller This flag is deprecated. For the correct flags to use, see the other L2 cache flags.
PF_ARM_PHYSICALLY_TAGGED_CACHE Cache is, or can be, physically tagged PF_ARM_VFP_SINGLE_PRECISION Single precision vectored floating-point unit PF_ARM_VFP_DOUBLE_PRECISION Double precision vectored floating-point unit PF_ARM_ITCM Tightly-coupled data memory PF_ARM_DTCM Tightly-coupled data memory PF_ARM_UNIFIED_CACHE Unified cache PF_ARM_WRITE_BACK_CACHE Writeback cache PF_ARM_CACHE_CAN_BE_LOCKED_DOWN Cache can be locked down PF_ARM_L2CACHE_MEMORY_MAPPED Level 2 cache controller implemented as a memory-mapped peripheral PF_ARM_L2CACHE_COPROC Level 2 cache controller implemented as a coprocessor PF_ARM_INTEL_XSCALE Intel XScale processor This can be used to determine if the processor supports operations where

Flag Description PF_MIPS_MIPSII MIPSII instruction set PF_MIPS_MIPSIII MIPSIII instruction set PF_MIPS_MIPSIV MIPSIV instruction set PF_MIPS_SMART_ASE MIPS smart card architecture specific extension PF_MIPS_MIPS16 MIPS16 instruction set PF_MIPS_MIPS32 MIPS32 instruction set PF_MIPS_MIPS64 MIPS64 instruction set PF_MIPS_FPU FPU support PF_MIPS_CPU_4KEX R4K exception model PF_MIPS_CPU_4KTLB R4K translation look-aside buffer (TLB) handler PF_MIPS_CPU_32FPR 32 double precision FP registers PF_MIPS_CPU_COUNTER Cycle count or compare PF_MIPS_CPU_WATCH Watchpoint registers PF_MIPS_CPU_DIVEC Dedicated interrupt vector PF_MIPS_CPU_VCE Virtual coherence conflict PF_MIPS_CPU_CACHE_CDEX Create_Dirty_Exclusive cache operation PF_MIPS_CPU_MCHECK Machine check exception PF_MIPS_CPU_EJTAG EJTAG exception PF_MIPS_PERF_COUNTER Performance counter PF_MIPS_ARCH_2 Architecture release 2 The following table shows the flags for SHx processor features.
Flag Description PF_SHX_SH3 SH3 instruction set PF_SHX_SH4 SH4 instruction set PF_SHX_SH5 SH5 instruction set PF_SHX_DSP Digital signal processor (DSP) PF_SHX_FPU Floating-point unit The following table shows the flags for x86 processor features.
Flag Description PF_FLOATING_POINT_PRECISION_ERRATA Floating-point precision error PF_FLOATING_POINT_EMULATED Floating-point operations are emulated PF_COMPARE_EXCHANGE_DOUBLE Compare and exchange double operation PF_MMX_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE MMX instruction set PF_XMMI_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE SSE instruction set PF_3DNOW_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE 3D-Now instruction set PF_RDTSC_INSTRUCTION_AVAILABLE RDTSC instruction Note All other PF_XXX flags to IsProcessorFeaturePresent will return FALSE.
Return Values
Returns nonzero if the processor feature is supported; otherwise, the function returns FALSE.
Remarks
The PF_XXX flags in dwProcessorFeature are filtered based on the CPU type. Depending on the processor being compiled, only the PF_XXX flags corresponding to your CPU are present. If you verify support for an unsupported feature, the function returns FALSE.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.1 and later.
Header: Winbase.h.
Link Library: Coredll.dll.
