Loading 32bit DLL using Excel 2007 (Vista 64bit version)

I discovered that I can NOT load any 32-bit DLLs using my version of Office 2007. I’m using Vista 64bit and I assume that Office is also in 64-bit mode.

Yes, the malloc is extreme, but why would it be a problem? This is in Windows XP64 with both Intel and MSFT compilers. The malloc sometim...

Compiling with DMD on 64bit Linux or Linking with 32bit object files

What is the best way to compile programs with DMD on a 64bit machine? It doesn't need to compile to 64Bit code. I know about GDC, but want to work with D2 also. There is also chroot, but am hoping for a simpler way. The actual problem isn't with compiling, but linking. DMD calls on GCC to perform linking with system libraries. Could I g...

Simplfied I want to do something like this: $i = 76561197961384956; $s = "i = $i"; Which should result in s being: i = 76561197961384956 This does obviously not work as PHP cast big integers to float, therefore s is: i = 7.65611979614E+16 While several other meth...

what are the specifics of setting up PHP so that integers will be 64-bit?

I think the general idea of PHP being able to have common integer 64-bit (as opposed to use math packages) is to use 64-bit hardware and 64-bit PHP. Does someone know the specifics? For example, won't the Core2Duo machine be able to support it? What about the 32-bit version of OS like Vista or OS X, can they support it too? ...

How to compile existing posix code for 64-bit Windows?

I'm ok with using Cygwin or MinGW, but I need to end up with 64-bit code, not 32-bit. This is because I will be calling the DLL from 64-bit managed C#. I can't seem to find and good references for setting up those tools to create 64-bit binaries. Also, it would be nice if the GCC was version 4, not version 3 as came with my Cygwin ins...
