But it will only execute those parts of the program that are
in the execution path for the data (or other) supplied for
that run. It may be that Z80 specific code only exists in
parts of the program that are not executed in the conditions
of the test. eg Z80 code may exist in exception code.
While this approach may definately say that some particular
programs do have Z80 code, the reverse may not be true, it
will not be possible to say that other programs do not have
Z80 code.
