Hello All,
It was brought to my attention by Michelango Jones that Borland's Test286.pas
demo program was provided by Borland such than you can provide a stub function
for a program compiled with {$G+}. The problem with this code is that is
unfairly leaves out lesser CPUs capable of running this code.
If you use {$G+}, please feel free to use this code!
===========================================================
*)
{$G+}
Unit Test186;
(* test186.pas 6-6-91 Robert Mashlan
license: to public domain
This unit provides a stub function for code compiled with TP 6.0's
"286" code generation directive {$G-}. Borland provides a demo
program called TEST286.PAS that checks if the machine is a 286 or
better, but leaves out the 80186/80188/V20/V30 machines perfectly
capable of running code compiled in this mode.
To use this unit, simply place it as the first unit listed in a {$G+}
program's unit clause. If the CPU is not capable of running the
program, it will abort.

Interface
Implementation
Function Is186Able : boolean; assembler;
(* This function returns true if the CPU is not a 8088/8086, which
cannot run code compiled in {$G+} mode. A NEC V20, V30,
Intel 80186, 80188, 286, 386, and 486 can all run TP 6.0's
"286" code and return true.
*)
asm
pushf ;(* save flags */
(* This test differentiates between a 286 and up and an 80186 and below
This is done by checking the value of bits 12-15 in the flag register
when it is pushed onto the stack. If they are set, then the CPU
is not a 286 and up.
*)
xor ax,ax ;(* set ax=0 *)
push ax ;(* push onto stack *)
popf ;(* pop flags *)
pushf ;(* push flags *)
pop ax ;(* pop into ax *)
and ax,0f000h ;(* mask upper 4 bits *)
cmp ax,0f000h ;(* are bits 12-15 set? *)
jne @exit186 ;(* NO: is a 286 and up *)
(* This test differentiates a 80186/80188 between a V20/V30/8088/8086.
The 80186/80188 will clear the upper three bits of the shift count
before executing a shift instruction using the cl register.
*)
mov al,0ffh ;(* set all bits in al *)
mov cl,021h ;(* try shifting 21h times *)
shr al,cl ;(* try shifting *)
jne @exit186 ;(* if al!=0 then it is a 80186/80188 *)
(* This test differentiates the NEC V20/V30 between the 8088/8086
This is done by testing for a bug in the 8088/8086. In the
Intel CPUs, if a repeated string instruction with a segment
override is interrupted by a hardware interrupt, the
instruction is not continued.
