Error calling 32 bit COM (C++) dll from C# console application ...
See my related post of a few minutes ago in another thread. In any case, don't separately select the precision of every variable in the program. There's half a chance that 64-bit integers might actually be more efficient than 32-bit ones in that case. If you have something like a huge array of them so that the

Windows XP 32-bit or 64-bit
"Solaris was ported from 32-bit to 64-bit by rewriting only a small fraction of the system." That means the majority of the code now running on a 64-bit system That leaves an open question though: do these differences have any effect on how an OS should be designed? The answer so far has generally in been no.

st: Another 2-bit 64-bit question
These answers do bring up another question. If I am charged with porting our software to HP-UX what are the platforms I should be concerned with? It sounds like I can support 10.20 32-Bit and 11.0 64-Bit from the B2000 but if I want to do 11.0 32 Bit I would need some other (Legacy) hardware.

Another 32/64 bit inquiry
64-bit is great for parallel-processing - beats the hell out of the 32-bit 'waiting' for another 'read' to come down one of the buses. I looked in my start> programs> accessories> system tools> system information but don't readily see anything there to answer my question. You have a 32-bit system.

How big is an int? (was: Yet another stupid language war (was ...
This is still an interesting answer to the initial question. What you have is not a definition of the size of an int, only a definition of its smallest possible size. So, how big is it, From this I can logically, and I believe correctly, assume that a 64 bit int is every bit as conforming as a 32 bit int. Yes.

What makes an AMD chip 64 bit?
Today everybody and their dog seems to be asking if their version of windows XP is 32-bit or 64-bit. Yup. As I just commented in a reply to ANOTHER of these threads.. looks almost like an astroturfing campaign by AMD, spreading the "buzz" about 64-bit computing, doesn't it? Nah, couldn't possibly be that.

eCS Question
The Microsoft security site for this patch gives the option for Windows XP (32-bit) and Windows XP (64-bit). How do I know which of these to install on my system? So far, I have not found a place on my system which indicates this information. Thank you. - - - This has been another enlightening moment, with: Turin I

Porting from 32-bit to 64-bit is probably not much different. Many C compilers implement int as a 32 bit quantity even on 64 bit architectures, Another victory for strait-jacket languages... :-) Here's a question for you: Besides directly accessing hardware features, what program is difficult to write in Java,

32 or 64 bit...?
I agree it would be best to make x86-64 native gcc be able to compile in -m64 or -m32 mode, since it's so inexpensive anyway. The more important question imho is how to package libraries. So far we have three different schemes (and more are possible): - libgcc and libstdc++ have both 32 bit and 64 bit libraries in

another 64-bit question
You said you were able to add another 700 Mbytes - so that sounds right. Other than upgrading your apps to 64-bit where the limits are so high that you'll run out of Memory Windows are available on either 32-bit or 64-bit HP-UX and allow you to create 32-bit shared memory beyond the 1.75 to 2.75 Gbyte limit.

How to portably distinguish between a 32 and 64 bit environment?
I've been asking you this question and you keep ignoring it: if the data bus width on the logic board is what matters, how come Apple calls my `128 bit' G4 a 32 bit machine and how come Apple calls the `32 bit' G5s 64 bit machines? And again, I'm not stating this as fact - I merely ask why this is? I have no idea.

a big question
When asking a question like this, it is useful to say what OS you are using. Apparently you are on some kind of Linux x86_64. We are thinking of building a new gcc "a cross compiler for 32 bit applications on a 64 bit machine" with a target processor of a Pentium4 but we are thinking that there might be another

32- vs 16-bit (was: Question-Merlin and Windows 95)
You see, there IS NO 64-bit processor in the Jaguar. Perhaps you meant one of the two 32-bit chips. Wrong. Here are the processors in the Jag: - "Tom" - Graphics Processing Unit Of course, system speed does not scale up linearly with processor speed, because one processor often has to wait for another.

I think thats great when converting to a 64-bit OS! You can have Windows XP 32-bit, and Windows XP/whatever 64-bit, no need to have another system by with programs Its a 32-bit OK, you have answered my question about that. I wasn't sure if you needed to run a 64 bit OS on it or not. I think I have an IA64 beta
