Q How do I determine if my 68K program is running on a PPC? A The best way to do this is to use the Gestalt Selectors as described in the Universal Interface file Gestalt.h: enum { gestaltSysArchitecture = 'sysa', /* Native System Architecture */ gestalt68k = 1, /* Motorola MC68k architecture */ gestaltPowerPC = 2 /* IBM PowerPC architecture */ }; A snippet of code that uses this could look something like this in your 68K program: #include <gestalt.h>#include <stdio.h>#include <Types.h> long myattr; OSErr err; err = Gestalt( gestaltSysArchitecture, &myattr;); if (err == noErr) { if (myattr == gestaltPowerPC) { InstallExtraPPCComp(); } } else { // handle error condition } Updated: 27-September-96 |
