API

`os::arch() -> Arch`

Returns the detected architecture for the operating system.

if os::arch() == os::arch::arm { }
else if os::arch() == os::arch::arm64 { }
else if os::arch() == os::arch::ia32 { }
else if os::arch() == os::arch::mips { }
else if os::arch() == os::arch::ppc { }
else if os::arch() == os::arch::ppc64 { }
else if os::arch() == os::arch::x32 { }
else if os::arch() == os::arch::x64 { }
else { err::panic("unknown architecture"); }

`os::eol() -> char *`

Returns the detected operating system specific "end-of-line" marker.

let eol = os::eol();

`os::type() -> Type`

Returns the detected operating system type.

if os::type() == os::type::apple { }
else if os::type() == os::type::linux { }
else if os::type() == os::type::posix { }
else if os::type() == os::type::unix { }
else if os::type() == os::type::windows { }
else { err::panic("unknown operating system"); }

`os::detect`

The following preprocessor values are available for operating system and architecture detection in macro conditional statements:

os::detect::amd
os::detect::amd64
os::detect::apple
os::detect::arm
os::detect::arm64
os::detect::i386
os::detect::linux
os::detect::mips
os::detect::posix
os::detect::ppc
os::detect::ppc64
os::detect::unix
os::detect::windows

fn platform_specific() -> int
  if #(os::detect::apple) {
    return 1;
  } else if #(os::detect::linux) {
    return 2;
  } else if #(os::detect::unix) {
    return 3;
  } else if #(os::detect::posix) {
    return 4;
  } else if #(os::detect::windows) {
    return 5;
  } else {
    // unknown operating system
    return 0;
  }
