[Iometer-devel] Processor speed reported over 4294 MHz gives (very) wrong results

[Wayne W. <w5...@al...>]

New to the list. Apologies in advance if this is old info.
The sources I downloaded are labeled iometer-2006_07_27.common-src

I used iometer to measure the performance of my old PC and then upgraded to
a new PC and the new one registered MUCH slower.
I downloaded the source and tracked this down to an integer overflow in
IOPerformance.cpp, 
Performance::Get_Processor_Speed()

All these lines in that function (silently) overflow for processor speeds
reported above 4294 MHz:
	return (double)(speed * 1000000);

This overflows whenever the "speed" variable is 32 bits, which is true on
both 32b and 64b Windows builds.
I also have .vcproj files for Dynamo and Iometer for Visual Studio 2008 and
that builds 64b binaries.

I am happy to share any/all of the above on request.
