Preferably both. For example, if running a PPC binary on Intel and a new version becomes available online I can display a customized alert that this new version is a UB. If they are running a PPC binary on PPC, why do they care.

Please, this is purely speculative at the time. Personally, I don't believe the above is a great use, but I'm looking for a reliable method.

That would only tell you for which platform the particular binary you're running was compiled. It would not tell which particular microprocessor chip you were running on at runtime.

In particular, it would give you the wrong answer for a PPC binary running on an Intel chip via Rosetta.

But I do wonder if Thom really wants to know the Chip, or the platform of the compiled binary?
