Hi guys,
the subject pretty much sums it up.
Environment.OSVersion.Platform on OS X reports PlatformID.Unix rather
than PlatformID.MacOSX.
The responsible code in mcs/class/corlib/System/Environment.cs
explicitly remaps PlatformID.MacOSX to Unix:
public static OperatingSystem OSVersion {
get {
if (os == null) {
Version v = Version.CreateFromString (GetOSVersionString ());
PlatformID p = Platform;
// UH: Why is this remapped?
if (p == PlatformID.MacOSX)
p = PlatformID.Unix;
os = new OperatingSystem (p, v);
}
return os;
}
}
While I totally agree that OS X *is-a* Unix-like operating system,
shouldn't this report the highest-level of detail that is available,
rather than throwing away useful information?
Cheers,
/uli
