[erlang-questions] Did Windows SMP support ever get added?

[pan+eq@REDACTED]

Hi,

If you run "erl.exe" on windows, you get the "oldshell", which does not 
inform about processors and stuff. The same behaviour as erl -oldshell on 
linux. If you however run werl.exe, you should see a slogan saying 
something like:
Erlang R13B (erts-5.7.1) [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [rq:4] [async-threads:0]

Where smp:2:2 means two logical processors and two schedulers.

In the oldshell, you can do a erlang:system_info(schedulers). or 
erlang:system_info(logical_processors).
