64bit version?

[GGRussell]

Just moved to WIn 7 64bit. Would be nice to see a full 64bit version.

It's not currently possible, there's no 64 bit compiler for C++ Builder.

I'm not sure if this is the builder you're using, but you might want to check out these two links:

 

C++ Builder Bundle:

"Priority preview access so you can be one of the first to experience upcoming C++Builder technologies and roadmap such as the new compiler for 64-bit Windows, iOS, and new C++11 standards support"

 

C++ Builder Roadmap:

http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/42275

 

"... At a high level, the capabilities we've been working on include a completely new 64-bit C++ toolchain for Windows, C++11 support with the industry's highest level of C/C++ standards compliance, and ARM support for mobile platforms including iOS and Android. ..."

 

"... As 64-bit Windows systems have become commonplace, 64-bit support tops the list of C++Builder customer requests. Specifically, developers are seeking support for 64-bit Windows subsystems such as 64-bit drivers, IIS, shell extensions, and SQL Server which require a 64-bit support interface to them. Developers are also seeking access to 64-bit memory addressing to break the 4GB application memory barrier. The new C++ compiler is planned to fully support 64-bit compilation of highly efficient 64-bit applications and libraries for Windows enabling 64-bit memory addressability and support for 64-bit Windows subsystems. ..."

Thanks, I was aware they are/were working on a 64 bit compiler for C++ Builder, it just isn't available yet.

 

There won't be any benefit in having a 64 bit version so although it might be 'nice', it doesn't bother me too much.
