Hi Alberto, Many thanks for your prompt reply.
Our migration concerns only the OS from x86 bit to x64bit. Regarding the applications used like Xerces c++, these are going to remain in 32bit format. So, I would like to ask if Xerces c++ 3.1.2 32-bit application is able to run (compatible) on x64bit OS environment? And another point please; Do you have any remarks that we should pay attention (mostly when building the source code) when changing version from Xerces 2.8 to 3.1.2 32bit? Thanks once again.

Generally speaking, Xerces 2.8 is very old and hasn't been updated since Xerces 3 was released (2008). Furthermore, when completing the 64-bit support, we couldn't change a few APIs in order not to break the compatibility (i.e. XMLString v.2.8 uses the 32-bit 'int' and 'unsigned int' to reference sections of the string or its length, while v.3 uses the 64-bit size_t type), so if you plan to use huge values, Xerces 3.1.2 is what you should use. > 3.
