With the advent of the Intel based machinery it seems there isn't a
methodology for interpreting the user's processor type with gestalt.
You mean there's hope people stop trying to write processor-specific
code or even trying to prevent users on specific machines to use some
apps at all? If that's the case, I'm all with Apple.
So it's a good thing to take away a tool that has legitimate
applications because it may be abused?
The OP explained what the intent was, and it's really exactly in line
with the historical intended use of that Gestalt selector. I'm going
to be quite disappointed if Uli's suspicion about Gestalt proves
correct and there's no functional replacement.
If you are after the last few perfomance-percents, ...
If you are after stuff like endianness of ints and floats, ...
And if you're after gathering specific information about the machines
deployed at a site for informational and support purposes?
