C or DCL routine to examine EXE

Thanks for that link Hoff!
That routine is perfect. I'll see what I can do to adapt it to the
config scripts.

Here's a bit of perl code that does pretty much what is called for. If
someone has a prettier bit of code to offer, I'll be happy to look at
it.

my $cpu_word = qr/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/ ;
my $number = qr/[0-9]+/ ;
my @cpu_types = () ;
#
# Find the appropriate records in the include file
#
foreach (`library/text
SYS\$SHARE:SYS\$LIB_C.TLB/extract=HWRPBDEF/output=sys\$output`)
{
# print ;
if ( m/HWRPB_CPU_TYPE\$K_($cpu_word)\s*($number)\s*/ ) {
@cpu_types[$2] = $1 ;
# print $2,"=",$1,"\n"
}
}
#
# find out the cpu type from GETSYI
#
my $cpu_type = `write sys\$output f\$getsyi("cputype")` ;
#print "Cpu type $cpu_type = @cpu_types[$cpu_type]" ;
print "@cpu_types[$cpu_type]";

Perhaps I should have been more explicit.

What I need is the EV level of the cpu, not the "hardware name". Take
a look at the output of ANALYZE/SYSTEM

The gnu config.sub and related routines have various strategies for
determining what model of cpu they are running on. I'm trying to fix
one for the GMP kit so that it can distinguish which variant of Alpha
it's running on. As of now the routine blows up when it fails the
attempt to compile the assembler routine that works for Tru64 and/or
Linux on Alpha.

I'd like to find a bit of code that would do the same using either DECC
or DCL on VMS. There's an assembler routine that is part of the GMP
conf routines that apparently does it, but the assembler is not
available on my system and I don't know if it would actually compile if
I had it. I do have a C compiler. Doing it from DCL would be even
slicker. I can get the information from ANALYZE/SYSTEM CLUE CONFIG --
I would like to think there might be a lighter weight path to getting
the information.

Anyone have something they've done like this?

Thanks!

Robert
