Can anybody check whether the above function is available in BSDs?

Should be in sys/sysinfo.h

It is not available in FreeBSD Sad

.
Since version 6 there is a function

int pmc_ncpu(void);

as part of the Performance Monitoring Counters API.

One also needs to include pmc.h and link with -lpmc.

What about sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) ?

Should work, too (and also better solution) Smile

On Net-, Open-, DragonflyBSD one must use sysctl system call like that:

int mib[2], maxproc;
size_t len;

mib[0] = CTL_HW;
mib[1] = HW_NCPU;
len = sizeof(maxproc);
sysctl(mib, 2, &maxproc, &len, NULL, 0);

But then the kernel sources have to be installed and the following files have to be included:
<sys/systctl.h> and <sys/param.h> on Net-, OpenBSD and <sys/types.h> on DragonflyBSD.

I think on these BSDs, returning 1 is perhaps ok for now...

You are right, especially since there are no official ports available on these systems, yet Rolling Eyes
