No. Simulating a CPU is way, way beyond its charter.
Good to know. Thanks.
But you don't want a compile time test for that! You want a
runtime test, as it should depend on what machine the program
is running under, which may not at all be the same one it
compiled on.
Thanks for the other two comments along these lines as well. Of
course a build script tends to take care of such considerations,
I was looking for a way to do it as much in D as possible. And
yes, it was for the idea of building and running on the same
processor type.
Appreciate the input.
