Hi Airy,
I wouldn't be too sure about that. The usually well informed Heise
website (www.heise.de) reports that Panther will basically be a 32 bit
OS which will use some 64 bit portions in dedicated areas (dsp lib
etc.). Over the time it should see a smooth transition to 100% 64bit.
Too bad I am not reading german, because I don't see how they indent to
do this.
All the systems I know that went 64 bits, did not choose the
progressive way. Either the kernel is 64 bits or the kernel is 32 bits.
And all the rest are logical consequences of that.
But I think (I hope) everything will be clear after the WWDC.
Maybe it's time for me not to move the darwin ML messages directly to
the trash, after a month of not having time to read them...
I really wish I could assist the WWDC this year. So many interesting
topics to talk about...
However, as long as you properly use the sizeof (float etc.) macro (or
what is it), a recompile should be sufficient, right?
Yes, it should be.
I've already done a few 32 bits->64 bits ports for other project
(including drivers) and everything went smooth, so I am not worried on
this.
I am more for third party drivers for my audio stuff...
Airy
