How to determine the hardware (CPU and RAM) on a machine?

Question

I\'m working on a cross platform profiling suite, and would like to add information about the machine\'s CPU (architecture/clock speed/cores) and RAM(total) to the report of

For Linux with GCC you can use a very similar solution like windows. You need to include the and you need to modify the input for the __cpuid() method based on this.

#include 

char CPUBrandString[0x40];
unsigned int CPUInfo[4] = {0,0,0,0};

__cpuid(0x80000000, CPUInfo[0], CPUInfo[1], CPUInfo[2], CPUInfo[3]);
unsigned int nExIds = CPUInfo[0];

memset(CPUBrandString, 0, sizeof(CPUBrandString));

for (unsigned int i = 0x80000000; i <= nExIds; ++i)
{
    __cpuid(i, CPUInfo[0], CPUInfo[1], CPUInfo[2], CPUInfo[3]);

    if (i == 0x80000002)
        memcpy(CPUBrandString, CPUInfo, sizeof(CPUInfo));
    else if (i == 0x80000003)
        memcpy(CPUBrandString + 16, CPUInfo, sizeof(CPUInfo));
    else if (i == 0x80000004)
        memcpy(CPUBrandString + 32, CPUInfo, sizeof(CPUInfo));
}

cout << "CPU Type: " << CPUBrandString << endl;
