Strange Design

[li-zhixin]

This library is very well packaged, but not applicable to my scenario. I want to use the cpuid to determine if the program is running in the virtual machine, but the library doesn't read the 31 bits of leaf 0x1, a very strange design.

Hi, li-zhixin,
thanks for taking the time to evaluate this library,
I don't know if I have understood correctly, in your scenario you cannot retrieve the value of the 31 bits of leaf 1 Processor And Features?

[li-zhixin]

Yes, you are right, let's take a look at the source code together.

//File Path: Leaf00000001 [Processor Info and Features].cs 
//line:159
// 31 - Not used. Always returns 0

There are many similar designs.

//File Path: Leaf00000001 [Processor Info and Features].cs 
//line:173
// 10 - Reserved
//line:183
// 20 - Reserved

I think it's easy to read these bits, or maybe you don't think it's necessary to read certain bits. It is difficult to take all user stories , is it reasonable to impose such a limitation in the library?

Hello, you are right, this bit can be used to determine if you are in a virtualized environment, it is already fixed and the change uploaded to the repository.

In relation to the other bits, which he calls 'strange design', I have not been able to know what they map, if you can help me with this, I update it as quickly as possible, I have relied on the official Intel documentation (What has available in the @documents folder),

Anyway, I have left something, if so and you see it, I would appreciate it if you would tell me about it and so I am improving :)

I hope now I can use it,

I'll look a little more, and if I don't see anything, I'll update the nuget package
a greeting

As for the other bits, I just saw a similar case, maybe this was not used, or maybe it was used but not documented. I don't know anything about this. Thank you for taking the time to fix this Issue.
