How long is an integer?How long is an integer?

• int, long – 32 bit (4 Byte)

• Ptr – 64 bit (8 Byte)

• Polymorphic data types– LRESULT, HANDLE, LPARAM, WPARAM– size_t intptr_t uintptr_t, …

• Don’t assume type sizes or data location– sizeof and FIELD_OFFSET are your friends

• A 32-bit application can detect whether it is running under WOW64 by calling the IsWow64Process function.

• It can obtain additional information about the processor using the GetNativeSystemInfo function.

WoW!WoW!

• Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64)

• Preventing file and registry collisions

• Support cut and paste and COM

• In-process– 32-bit processes CANNOT load 64-bit DLLs– 64-bit processes CANNOT load 32-bit DLLs

MigrationMigration

• Need 64bit support for all components?

• Source unavailable?

• Dependency!– A 64bit app cannot invoke a 32bit DLL– Use EXE instead? Port both? …

General Porting GuidelinesGeneral Porting Guidelines

• Testing– All supported environments– Interoperability– Different memory configurations

Treat your 64-bit version

As a separate product release

Installer ApplicationsInstaller Applications

• NO 16 bit installer applications supported– Except for recognized InstallShield and ACME

installers– 16 bit setup bootstraps not supported

• 32-bit installer apps cannot load and register 64-bit DLLs and vice versa– Create a 64-bit process to register 64-bit DLL– Communicate using RPC

• Same process applies to 64-bit installers
