complete listing of CPUTYPES

[Aryeh M. Friedman]

I just switched from amd64 to i386 8-current on a machine and was using
CPUTYPE?=nocona but want to know:

a) Is this still correct for a intel dual core e6850 (3.0GHz)
b) Is there a file that contains all the CPUTYPES and a description of
what processors belong to which type?

I think that's a gcc thing, more or less.
man gcc gives a pretty exhaustive list of the cpu types
(and synonyms) which you may set.

Since FreeBSD uses GCC check it here.

You can also see a list of CPUTYPEs in the examples:

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf

core and core2 exist (in 7.0-RELEASE). I guess core2 is what you are
looking for.

Every type is documented in gcc(1) except core and core2.... do these
actually do anything?

I think it should be CPUTYPE?=prescott on i386, according to
/usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk.

Thats the type that nocona seems to alias to (CFLAGS have -march=prescott)

Yes. CPUTYPE is translated by /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk into the options
actually passed on to gcc.
(This means that the list of valid values for CPUTYPE is not identical to
the list of values that gcc accepts as arguments to -march.)
This is to handle the fact that gcc might not yet know about all the newest
CPU's. Setting CPUTYPE to any of 'core2' or 'prescott' or 'nocona' will
actually pass on exactly the same flags to gcc.

(I suspect that /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk ought to be updated in -CURRENT and
7.x to reflect the fact that the version of gcc included there knows
about more CPU models than the version of gcc included with 6.x does.)
