I'm the lead dev for Bitfighter, and am having problems porting the game to 64-bit Linux. This should be a relatively easy and common problem, but it has stumped a number of people and I have been able to find no good information about it. [[ The code compiles in 32-bit with gcc version 4.1.2, and others, and fails with several variant...
We are moving to an all-64-bit development environment. Unfortunately VS 2008 and, more importantly, its built-in web server, run in 32-bit mode. When debugging code that references 64-bit assemblies - Oracle.DataAccess, for example - we experience the dreaded System.BadImageFormatException. Can anyone offer any strategies for debugging...
The usual check to differentiate between running Python-application on Windows and on other OSes (Linux typically) is to use conditional: if sys.platform == 'win32': ... But I wonder is it safe to use today when 64-bit Python is more widely used in last years? Does 32 really means 32-bit, or basically it refers to Win32 API? If t...
in the basic msi project of InstallShield2009Premier, I set the General Information->Summary Information Stream->Template Summary = x64;1033 to make the setup 64 bit. Now I want to set a vale to registry(by importing a registry), but it goes to HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft rather than HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft. How to access the 6...
I would like to know whether i can assume that same operations on same 64-bit floating point numbers gives exactly the same results on any modern PC and in most common programming languages? (C++, Java, C#, etc.). We can assume, that we are operating on numbers and result is also a number (no NaNs, INFs and so on). I know there are two ...
I am trying to migrate some code from 32-bit Windows (XP and Server 2003) to 64-bit Windows 7, and I am having a weird problem with gethostbyname. I'm doing something like this: struct hostent *hp; hp = gethostbyname( host ); After the call to gethostbyname, the pointer hp->h_addr_list is invalid. It has all the right numbers, but i...

Hello, I try to convert an existing 32-bit XLL to a 64-bit version in order to run under Excel 2010 64-bit. But when I try to run it under Excel it crashes Excel. It crashes when I do a Excel4(xlfRegister, result, 7, x0, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6); with XLOPER parameter (not XLOPER12). Do you know if I can still use Excel4 in 64-bit ? If i...
I'm writing a small utility that should run on both 16\32\64 bit systems. My old utility ran both on 32 and 16 bit by compressing the 16bit version to the 32 bit and applying the /stub switch in visual studio 2008 (/STUB -MS-DOS Stub File Name ). I'm looking for a way to do the same with my 64 bit executable. The target 64bit system is ...

In Visual Studio > Build > Configuration Manager you can choose the target platform. What does it change? Is there any other way I can optimize my .NET app when targeting x64 platforms? ...
I'm working on an application with a shared object that is accessed via a singleton. It's working fine on 32-bit however on 64-bit it doesn't appear to be locking properly. In the constructor for my object I have code that checks for some config reg keys and prompts the user if they don't exist. On 32 bit I see the prompt only once as ex...
