Yet another 64-bit question
Whether or not 64 bits make sense in one area or another, whether a certain application requires or can at least profit from 64 bits, wasn't the question. I totally agree that the majority of applications do perfectly well running on a 32 bit architecture. I've been involved in going from 32 bits to 64 bits on MIPS

Which 8 bit computer from the `70's was the best.
There is not necessarily a slow down, you can take a 64 bit result and simultaneously write into two 32 bit registers or write either half into one 32 bit register. also Even some of use who design Intel Architecture microprocessors have the same questions and complaints :) (I don't speak for Intel Corporation.

What makes an AMD chip 64 bit?
... on the decks of the Itanic for another 5 years or so - at which point the question *might* make a bit more sense. Or just a different level of nonsense :-) The originally stated design for the Itanic was that it would have three modes: native 64-bit, 32-bit (largely emulated) and PA-RISC (largely emulated).

First, to deal with the actual wrap around of the POSIX time_t, what systems can do is implement it as a 64 bit integer. OS Filesystems which use 32 bit values for file timestamps will also have to change their format. Changing from one filesystem to another requires that the filesystem be backed up completely,

32/64 bit addresses / C style sizeof() in COBOL? [newbie question]
But 40 bits only fits in a 64 bit word length, and those 64 bit DSP processors are still *expensive*. I'm curious about the 40 bit A/D converter for another reason, however. The best that I knew about that's fast enough for IF sampling, but wouldn't break the Federal budget, was Crystal Semiconductor's 24 bit A/D.

Is there another way, then, to distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit systems at compile time without the use of external tools? I wonder why you want to do this, on which the answer to the question above may depend. Since sizeof() gives you the size in (C++) bytes, and CHAR_BITS gives the number of bits in a byte,

Another reason I don't see why we would need them (as 'simple' users), is that most applications don't use 64-bit numbers, so there is no real advantage in We have had 32-bit computing (and trans 32-bit, for that matter) for DECADES (computers were using 36- and 38-bit words back in the '50s) The question has

Hammer + 64 bit OS question
Pentium processors have a 64-bit data bus. As such, no pentium class motherboard can be expected to operate with a memory bank only 32-bits wide. A second access takes another 140ns, because a refresh must occur after a read. When interleaving is employed, the refresh can occur while the other bank is accessed.
