Has anyone used ruby in 64-bit environments in various platforms (HP=UX, Solaris, AIX etc.) in a commercial production environment that heavily relies on database. Have you faced any issues / bugs during these times? I know that overall things look ok. Compilation, deployment etc. I would like to know if you encountered any 'gotcha's ...
We’re getting the following error message when we click on “Search Settings” for a Shared Services Provider: “Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.” This is a new server environment with two web front ends, one database server, and one index server, all running Windows 2003 x64. Does anyone hav...
Title says it all :) No, seriously, I'm porting a C++ 32 bit application to 64 bit on windows. The application is a client of IBM WebSphere MQ. It uses the MQ client API. Now, as the port progresses, I'm trying to find a 64 bit client. So far, no luck. Does anyone here happen to know if where I can find one, or, god forbid, confirm th...
I need to build a managed DLL, targeted for x64, and expose it via x64 COM. I need a walk through, good article, etc... Interop is fairly straightforward, but when you talk about x64 on both sides, I can't find anything. ...
Hello, using C++Builder 2007, the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile functions doesn't seem to be able to find some files on 64-bit versions of Vista and XP. My test application is 32-bit. If I use them to iterate through the folder C:\Windows\System32\Drivers they only find a handful of files although there are 185 when I issue a dir comm...
I know that there are issues with the VFP OLEDB provider on 64 bit machines. ... but what issues do you encounter while actually running a VFP application - on a 64 bit machine? Has anyone had any experience in this area? My first thought was that it would just run as a 32bit app, without making use of the 64 bit power. However, I ran i...
We have a graphics intensive application that seems to be experiencing problems on AMD 64 bit Dual Core platforms that are not apparent on Intel platforms. Running the application causes the CPU to run at 100%, in particular when using code for shadows and lighting (Open GL). Does anyone know of specific issues with AMD processors that...
I have a .NET assembly that contains classes to be registered as ServicedComponent through EnterpriseServices (COM+) and invoked through COM RPC by a third-party application. Therefore, I need to both add it to the GAC and add a registry entry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{clsid}\CodeBase with the path to the assembly DLL within the GA...
To complete some testing I need to load the 64 bit version of an assembly even though I am running a 32 bit version of Windows. Is this possible? ...
So the official XML-RPC standard doesn't support 64-bit values. But in these modern times, 64-bit values are increasingly common. How do you handle these? What XML-RPC extensions are the most common? What language bindings are there? I'm especially interested in Python and C++, but all information is appreciated. ...
We have two versions of a managed C++ assembly, one for x86 and one for x64. This assembly is called by a .net application complied for AnyCPU. We are deploying our code via a file copy install, and would like to continue to do so. Is it possible to use a Side-by-Side assembly manifest to loading a x86 or x64 assembly respectively whe...
Microsoft has chosen to not release a 64-bit version of Jet, their database driver for Access. Does anyone know of a good alternative? Here are the specific features that Jet supports that I need: Multiple users can connect to database over a network. Users can use Windows Explorer to copy the database while it is open without risking...
If I want to compile my .NET applications for a 64 bit environment. Do I need 64 bit OS version or 64 bit Visual Studio version Or both? ...
Why is it considered to be such a big deal to have a 64-bit computer? Why does it "change everything?" Why do applications need to be designed differently between 32- and 64-bit platforms? And, on OS X, how do you find which one you have!? ...
I'm attempting to write a Python C extension that reads packed binary data (it is stored as structs of structs) and then parses it out into Python objects. Everything works as expected on a 32 bit machine (the binary files are always written on 32bit architecture), but not on a 64 bit box. Is there a "preferred" way of doing this? ...
What happens if I use HGetFolderPath api call in a 32 bit system with CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILESx86 folder id, instead of the CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES id ? Theoretically CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILESx86 should map to C:\program files (x86) in a 64 bit system but what does it map to in a 32 bit system where this path doesn't exists? Thanks in advanced. ...
I am sequentially processing a large file and I'd like to keep a large chunk of it in memory, 16gb ram available on a 64 bit system. A quick and dirty way is to do this, is simply wrap the input stream into a buffered input stream, unfortunately, this only gives me a 2gb buffer. I'd like to have more of it in memory, what alternatives d...
Greetings. I have a little dilemma on how to set up my visual studio builds for multi-targeting. Background: c# .NET v2.0 with p/invoking into 3rd party 32 bit DLL's, SQL compact v3.5 SP1, with a Setup project. Right now, the platform target is set to x86 so it can be run on Windows x64. The 3rd party company has just released 64 bit...
Suppose I have one long long int and want to take its bits and construct four unsigned short ints out of it. Particular order doesn't matter much here. I generally know that I need to shift bits and truncate to the size of unsigned short int. But I think I may make some weird mistake somewhere, so I ask. ...
I am trying to adapt an existing code to a 64 bit machine. The main problem is that in one function, the previous coder uses a void* argument that is converted into suitable type in the function itself. A short example: void function(MESSAGE_ID id, void* param) { if(id == FOO) { int real_param = (int)param; // ... ...
