You don't need a 64-bit version: Compiling 64-bit programs

Works fine.
Doesn't matter if DMD itself is 32-bit.
As Vladimir in IRC reminded me, there is one use-case: You
may need it
for some intensive CTFE stuff (excessive memory allocations
and no
freeing by the compiler). That is, if you need more than 3/4
gigs.
Right, there's certainly that. But that has nothing to do with
whether you're trying to build a 64-bit or 32-bit program, and
(at least for Windows) it isn't even an issue at all unless
you actually are hitting that limit (unlikely for a newcomer
to D). It sounded like steven kladitis was worried about just
being able to create 64-bit programs. For that, it makes no
difference if the compiler itself is a 32- or 64-bit build.
dmd -m64 ( windows ) says \bin\link not found :)
if the -m64 lets the compiled code use 64 bit registers and ints
are now 64 bit then great! What is VC++, is it free?
