[Mono-list] Can You Programmatically Determining Architecture (x86, x64, IA64)?

[Alex]

Hi,

Nope, there's no good way to do it, unfortunately. What I did was use
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE on Windows and uname() on other systems, but be
prepared to have a huge ugly switch with weird values because the
output of that function is not well-specified.

Regards,
Alex
