Porting 32 bit C++ code to 64 bit - is it worth it? Why?
- by NTDLS
I am aware of some the obvious gains of the x64 architecture (higher addressable RAM addresses, ect)... but:
What if my program has no real need to run in native 64 bit mode. Should I port it anyway?
Are there any foreseeable deadlines for ending 32 bit support?
Would my application run faster / better / more secure as native x64 code?
