Why? Is it still in development or may we expect for a new technology
breakout for 64 bit?
I worry about that the IL compiler don not have support for this, I supposed
it was prepared for this.

Thanks, JM

JM,

The 64bit .Net Framework is under development for release in a future
version. The IL is not changed to support 64bit and your managed
applications in most instances will run as native 64bit processes. There
are some constructs to watch for that can cause some cross platform bugs.
These include explicit layout of structures, PInvoke and COM Interop to
dll's or COM components where no 64bit equivilent exists. When doing
PInvoke use IntPtr instead of int for HANDLES and pointers. Thats the set
of issues where you can get into trouble otherwise managed code runs
unchanged.

Thanks,

Larry Sullivan [MS]

I would say that they are on different teams, and that (simply said) the
..NET team has not released any work as the 64 bit version of the .NET server
is much more "under development" than the 32 bit version.

Also note that the IL would be EXACTLY the same. The only things different
would be the JIT. Which can take some significant time to make and optimize.

I just wanted to know that, as the note didn't tell if there will be support
or not.
Many thanks,
JM
