When compiler OW-V2 can it generate 64 bit executables on Windows ?

[tdechaize]

Hi,
Today, OW is very limited to generate only 32 bit executable (.ie. format PE) on Windows (and also on Linux ..., format ELF 32 bit).
Is it investigate to support PE+ format of executables (64 bit) on Windows (and also format ELF+ 64 bit on Linux) ?
For me, this will may very succesfull update to preserve future of this compiler.
Any opinions ?
Sincerly.

some necessary steps were done:

• porting OW code to 64-bit that now we have 32-bit and 64-bit version executable
• porting OW tools to support 64-bit objects, it is partialy done for librarian, linker and resource compiler
• create new code generator for 64-bit Intel architecture, not yet started

Hi,

Thank's.

Three steps :

- first, it's realized, I think, because two different directory of binary (binnt and binnt64 for windows version of OW)

• second, partialy OK. How many tools don't meet 64 bit version ?

• third, if you are interested a library exist : https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5205732/libpe-PE32-PE32plus-Binaries-Parsing-Library

Sincerly.
