Does It Make Sense to Move to 64-bit for a "Typical" Mac OS X Application?

I understand the major benefits of being able to build a 64-bit application on Mac OS X: more memory available, better performance, etc. But what if I have an app with modest memory needs and no performance concerns. Let's assume that porting it to 64-bit is simply a matter of changing the build settings. Would making a 64-bit executa...

cocoa 64bit binaries leak memory? (releasing NSData does not free memory)

i've been playing some time with different builds of my application and there seem strange things to happen: my app has a 5mb idle footprint. when uploading a file memory in size of the file is reserved. after the upload the reserved memory should be freed. now there are differences in the builds (gc = garbage collector): 32bit i386 n...

Trying to run 64-bit tests on 32-bit windows

We're running our unit tests as a post-build step in our builds. Now I've run into a problem with this on our autobuild machines that automatically pull and build every revision in svn.

Mixed up 32Bit and 64bit shared object / libraries

32bit vs 64bit performance

I have a .NET assembly(3.5 framework) and it basically has a set of custom controls which does a lot of things like plotting points and stuff like that. The assembly is compiled as 'AnyCPU' so that I can use it in both 32bit and 64bit. When I tried to compare the performance of an application that uses this assembly in 32bit and 64bit, I...

Does P/Invoke on 64-bit windows require different signatures than on 32-bit?

When I create a signature that refers to user32.dll for example should I be building this with user64.dll if the target is a 64-bit computer? [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] public static extern bool ChangeClipboardChain( IntPtr hWndRemove, IntPtr hWndNewNext); Currently this isn't a problem as I'm targeting ...

How can I tell if I'm running on x64?

I just got a bug report for an issue that only occurs when the program is running "on a 64-bit machine." Now, Delphi doesn't produce 64-bit code, so theoretically that shouldn't matter, but apparently it does in this case. I think I have a workaround, but it will break things on 32-bit Windows, so I need some way to tell: If I'm runn...

What impact, if any, does the -d64 swtich have on Sun JVM resident memory usage?

I've got this webapp that needs some memory tuning. While I'm already profiling the application itself and trimming things down, the JVM itself seems overly bloated to me on our busiest instance. (The lower volume instances do not have this problem.) The details: Platform: RHEL4 64-bit (Linux 2.6.9-78.0.5.ELsmp #1 SMP x86_64) Sun J...
