I've been using TortoiseSVN in a Windows environment for quite some time. It seems very feature-complete and nicely integrated into the Windows shell, and more importantly, it's fairly painless to teach to colleagues with little or no experience with source control. However, since we have moved to Windows Vista 64bit, Tortoise has bee...
I've been working on a project that accesses the WMI to get information about the software installed on a user's machine. We've been querying Win32_Product only to find that it doesn't exist in 64-bit versions of Windows because it's an "optional component". I know there are a lot of really good alternatives to querying the WMI for this ...
Does anyone know IF, WHEN or HOW I can get Memcached running on a Windows 64bit environment? I'm setting up a new hosting solution and would much prefer to run a 64bit OS, and since it's an ASP.Net MVC solution with SQL Server DB, the OS is either going to be Windows Server 2003 or (hopfully!) 2008. I know that this could spill over i...
I know that .NET is JIT compiled to the architecture you are running on just before the app runs, but does the JIT compiler optimize for 64bit architecture at all? Is there anything that needs to be done or considered when programming an app that will run on a 64bit system? (i.e. Will using Int64 improve performance and will the JIT com...
On these questions: Which Vista edition is best for a developer machine? Vista or XP for Dev Machine People are recommending 64 bit, can you explain why? Is it just so you can have more then 3Gb of addressable RAM that 32 bit gives you? And how does Visual Studio benefit from all this extra RAM? I went from 64 bit XP back to 32 bit...
I've got a problem similar to,but subtly different from, that described here (Loading assemblies and their dependencies). I have a C++ DLL for 3D rendering that is what we sell to customers. For .NET users we will have a CLR wrapper around it. The C++ DLL can be built in both 32 and 64bit versions, but I think this means we need to have...
I know that MAC OS X 10.5 comes with Apache installed but I would like to install the latest Apache without touching the OS Defaults incase it causes problems in the future with other udpates. So I have used the details located at:http://diymacserver.com/installing-apache/compiling-apache-on-leopard/ But I'm unsure how to make this the 6...
The default Python install on OS X 10.5 is 2.5.1 with a fat 32 bit (Intel and PPC) client. I want to setup apache and mysql to run django. In the past I have run apache and mysql to match this install in 32 bit mode (even stripping out the 64 bit stuff from apache to make it work). I want to upgrade Python to 64 bit. I am completely com...
When I try to do that I get the following error: Changes to 64-bit applications are not allowed. ...
Howdy, We are getting new dev machines and moving up to Vista 64 Ultimate to take advantage of our 8gb ram. Our manager wants us to do all dev in 32bit virtual machines to make sure there will be no problems with our code moving into production. Is there any way to guarantee the resultant programs will work on 32bit os's? I don't m...
What considerations do I need to make if I want my code to run correctly on both 32bit and 64bit platforms ? EDIT: What kind of areas do I need to take care in, e.g. printing strings/characters or using structures ? ...
Obviously, that's 64-bit windows. Also, what's the maximum amount of memory a single 64-bit process can use? I was kind of counting on using it all... (Yes, I know what I'm doing, please don't tell me that if I need that much RAM i must be doing something wrong) Also, is this the same for a .Net 2.0 process? Or is there a lower limit ...
I've been asked to create a Delphi compatible dll in C++ to do simple 64bit memory management. The background is that the system in Delphi needs to allocate a lots of chunks of memory that would go well outside 32bit addressable space. The Delphi developer explained to me that he could not allocate memory with the Delphi commands availa...
Some code that rounds up the division to demonstrate (C-syntax): #define SINT64 long long int #define SINT32 long int SINT64 divRound(SINT64 dividend, SINT64 divisor) { SINT32 quotient1 = dividend / divisor; SINT32 modResult = dividend % divisor; SINT32 multResult = modResult * 2; SINT32 quotient2 = multResult / divisor; SI...
In Visual C++ a DWORD is just an unsigned long that is machine, platform, and SDK dependent. However, since DWORD is a double word (that is 2 * 16), is a DWORD still 32-bit on 64-bit architectures? ...
On my OS X box, the kernel is a 32 bit binary and yet it can run a 64 bit binary. How does this work? cristi:~ diciu$ file ./a.out ./a.out: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 cristi:~ diciu$ file /mach_kernel /mach_kernel: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures /mach_kernel (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 /mach_ker...
Can I run a 64-bit VMWare image on a 32-bit machine? I've Googled this but there doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer. I know that it would have to be completely emulated and would run like a dog - but slow performance isn't necessarily an issue as I'm just interested in testing some of my background services code on 64-bit platforms...
Has anyone had any luck of using Oracle from .Net on a 64 bit machine, and using the UDT capabilities of Oracle? I've been able to use an x64 ODP.Net client, but cannot find one with any support for UDTs. Thanks Nick [Edit] I've posted an answer below. The latest (as of December 2008) release is 11.1.0.7. This has support for 64 bit ...
We have a WinForms application written in C# that uses the AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF component to load and print a PDF file. Has been working without any problems in Windows XP. I have moved my development environment to Vista 64 bit and now the application will not run (on Vista 64) unless I remove the AxAcroPDF component. I get the follow...
Is there a way to have a 64 bit enum in C++? Whilst refactoring some code I came across bunch of #defines which would be better as an enum, but being greater than 32 bit causes the compiler to error. For some reason I thought the following might work: enum MY_ENUM : unsigned __int64 { LARGE_VALUE = 0x1000000000000000, }; ...
