At present, the Microsoft Visual C++ and GCC compilers do not allow you to use 32-bit pointers in 64-bit software created for processors based on x86-64 architecture. You can use 64-bit registers...
To work with size_t, ptrdiff_t, intptr_t and uintptr_t types in the functions like sscanf, printf you may use size specifiers. If you are developing a Windows-application, you may use the...
size_t is a base unsigned integer memsize-type defined in the standard library of C/C++ languages. This type is described in the header file stddef.h for C and in the file cstddef for C++...
MSDN is a large knowledge base, so maintaining and keeping it up-to-date is an extremely difficult and perhaps almost impossible task. In forums, there are many questions asked by programmers who...
When analyzing larger projects static code analyzers usually generate a lot of error messages or warnings. And choosing whether all these errors should be fixed largely depends on current stage...
The difference in performance between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of applications depends greatly upon their types, and the data types they are processing. But in general you may expect...
There are 3 most obvious advantages of 64-bit processors over their 32-bit counterparts: extended address space, capacity increase, and larger number of general-purpose...
