Does anyone know of a way to programmatically determine whether ones Mac code is running on PowerPC or Intel hardware?

uname should do it:

    struct utsname un;
    uname( &un );
    printf( "%s\n", un.machine );

--
%man 3 uname

Thanks everyone. This seems to work just fine (for now -- until Apple changes their mind):



#include <sys/utsname.h>

- (BOOL)isIntel {
    struct utsname name;

    uname(&name);

NSString *hardware = [NSString stringWithCString:name.machine encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

    return ![@"Power Macintosh" isEqualToString:hardware];
}
