Re: How to determine if an app is running on the Simulator?

[Emilio Millan]

Well, I think I found my answer:  Get the processor ID and if it's an 
Intel x86, I'm on the Simulator.  Here's the code snippet:

  UInt32 idProcessor=0xFFFF;    
  Err err = FtrGet(sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumProcessorID, &idProcessor);
        
  if ((idProcessor & sysFtrNumProcessorMask) == sysFtrNumProcessorx86) {
    // Running on the Simulator.
  }

I can *partially* answer my own question.  Some Simulators (Garmin's and 
at least some of the non-device-specific ones from PalmSource) return a 
Company ID of 'psys' and a Device ID of ''.  But the T3 Simulator 
returns exactly what the T3 returns, so this isn't a complete solution.

Does anyone know a way to determine programmatically whether or not an
app is running on the Simulator?  I'd like to know this so I can avoid
calling SysGlueTrapExists() when running on the Simulator.  (Calling
SysGlueTrapExists() on the Simulator causes a debugger break.)
