Should my program support IA64, or should it only support x64? I haven't been able to easily find IA64 computers myself. Is IA64 dead? MS seems to have a wide support for IA64, but it took me a long time to be able to find an IA64, and I had to end up getting it on eBay. ...
I'm looking for a reference on the differences between the memory models used by the .NET CLR/JIT on x86/x64/ia64. I know there's some differences between x86 and ia64 (instruction reordering, instruction removal, etc.), but I haven't found a reference on the differences between x86 and x64. I have an application that is aiming for s...
The vcvarsall.bat that does setup de build environment let you choose between x86 | ia64 | amd64 | x86_amd64 | x86_ia64. First option is obvious for 32bit, but the question is: what would be the optimal option between the other 4 if you want to build for 64bit and you want to run on all 64 bit machines. Let say that you don't have ti...
I think I know what #ifdefs I need to use to be x86-32 and x86-64 compatible on both msvc and gcc, see below. Is this complete for those platforms? #if defined(_MSC_VER) # if defined(_M_IA64) || defined(_M_X64) # define SIZEOF_SIZE_T 8 # define SIZEOF_VOIDP 8 # elif defined(_M_IX86) # define SIZEOF_SIZE_T 4 # define SIZEO...
Hi there! I am a beginner at DDK/WDM driver developing field. I have a task which involves porting a virtual device driver from x86 to x64 (intel). I got the source code, I modified it a bit and compiled it succesfuly with DDK (build environments). But when I tried to load it on a ia64 Windows7 machine it didn't want to load. Then I tri...
I have to deal with a lot of multithreaded programming at work. Specifically, I want to know how the ARM memory model differs from IA64. Both are very weak models, but are there any specific differences that I should know about? I'm familiar with ia64, not with arm. ...
what is the g++ option to build ia64 binaries ...
