Something equivalent to a hyptohetic "uninfo bitness" returning either
"32", "64" or "32 64" (if a universal binary).
I don't think there is something better than inspecting the binaries
with platform specific tools right now. Internally, of course, OOo
knows what "platform" (x86 Linux, x64 Linux, x86 Mac OS X, etc.) it
is---this is at least needed when filtering out extension material
that is not appropriate for the given platform. (Also, the standard
ways to interact with an OOo installation is either via UNO, which
abstracts over those platform details, or through extensions, which
already support platform differences.)
It seems that this is some sort of a chicken and egg problem.
E.g. on MacOSX: if one uses Java to query the configuration via UNO, it
may be the case that 64-bit Java is used instead of a 32-bit Java when
getting in touch with OOo/UNO, which may be a 32-bit (and sometimes in
the future) a 64-bit implementation or both (universal binary).
Right, when you want to use the OOo's URE to set up a UNO connection to
OOo, you easily run into this chicken/egg problem.
If no crash is to be expected, what configuration service/path should I
use to figure out the architecture/memory model? (Didn't find anything
in the schema "Setup.xcs" nor in "Setup-brand.cxu".) Or with other
words, is there an XML-file that carries this information, and if so
what is its name and element (this would be even easier to analyze
without the need to directyl interact with UNO).
Jochen (now on CC) should know how OOo's extension manager determines
the current platform.
