64-bit Windows Support

CA Gen supports compiling and executing generated C Blockmode and server applications as 64-bit images on Windows using Visual Studio. Users can build their generated C Blockmode and server applications as 64-bit by setting the new Build Tool token, OPT.BITS, to 64 in their profile. Users must regenerate their code to gain access to 64-bit data types that are used in the Windows X 64 API to create 64-bit images. Regenerated code can be compiled into either 32-bit X86 binaries or 64-bit X64 binaries by setting the OPT.BITS Build Tool token.

The %GENxx%Gen\VSabc\amd64 folder contains a collection of files that support 64-bit Windows. When setting token OPT.BITS to 64, the shared libraries and executables in the %GENxx%Gen\VSabc\amd64 folder are utilized. Executing a 64-bit built application from the Build Tool does not require any environment changes (the Build Tool takes care of the environment).

Note: xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. abc refers to the supported version of Visual Studio. For more information about the release number and the supported version of Visual Studio, see the Release Notes.
