|
|
I am setting up a development box to start exploring the world of 64 bit
programming (image processing). I've been using BCB 5 for years and have
just started looking at the specs of BCB2006 and to my eyes it doesn't seem
to have any 64 bit compiling support. Is this correct?
Anybody started programming in 64 bit yet? Am I going to be forced to use MS
Visual Studio 6 (gasp!)?? What are Borlands plans? Anybody have any
recommendations of a 64 bit programming environment? I'd like to start off
just by porting some of my straight ansi C++ code and create some simple
dialogs.

I think that 64bit compiler for C++ is planned in Borland Delphi
roadmap. You should check BDN for more info about this roadmap.

Why don't you just write your code in .NET and trust Microsoft's JIT to do
the right thing on the correct OS.... hehehehehe
I couldn't help myself!!!!

I think you'd have to use the new 2005 version. There is a free C++ Express
edition available for download that does pretty much all you'd want for
getting to know the environment and diving in to 64-bit programming...

In your text editor, global search and replace your ints to __int64s and that's all there
is to it!
