I am currently using Windows on my default development system and Linux on my server where I deploy my Lua scripts. For Windows there are only several 32 bit interpreters like Lua for Windows one I currently use (at least as far as i know). On the server the interpreter is running the scripts on 64 bits.
Now my question is: Is it possible to check on which architecture the script is running (probably similar to the _ENV variable for the version)?
If there is any 64 bit Windows Lua interpreter feel free to leave a comment on this matter. Thank you in advance.
If you can get the executable that runs the script, you can probably look at its header on Windows and Linux to check if it's 32bit or 64bit application; here are suggestions on how to do it on Windows.
I'm also interested in simpler ways to do it from a Lua script (and the one that works with Lua and LuaJIT interpreters), as I ran into a case when I'd like to reference different paths depending on whether 32bit or 64bit library needs to be loaded without the user having to specify those paths.
