How does 64 bit code work on OS-X 10.5?

I initially thought that 64 bit instructions would not work on OS-X 10.5.

I wrote a little test program and compiled it with GCC -m64. I used long long for my 64 bit integers.

The assembly instructions used look like they are 64 bit. eg. imultq and movq 8(%rbp),%rax.

I seems to work.

I am only using printf to display the 64 bit values using %lld.

Is this the expected behaviour?
Are there any gotcha's that would cause this to fail?
Am I allowed to ask multiple questions in a question?
Does this work on other OS's?

what does macosx-version-min imply?

When I pass compiler flag "-mmacosx-version-min=10.5", what does it mean? I think it implies the result binary is x86, not ppc, but is it 32 bits or 64 bits? I'm compiling on snow leopard, so default output binary is 64 bits. I'm not passing -universal, it's not 32bit-64bit universal binary, I think. >>> More
