Thanks for your reply Bill.
In the Readme.txt it's mentioned "This is the version 7.0 release of the
DyninstAPI. Currently, the
Dyninst API library is available for ..., x86/WindowsXP/2000/2003, ...", so
does it mean Dyninst is not compatible with Windows 7 (32-bits) yet?
Dyninst 7/Windows 7 is untested AFAIK and...might work. Dyninst 8 (which
is coming soon) does work on 32-bit Windows 7.
What sort of tool do you have in mind?
Variable tracing tool

Hi,
Is Dyninst compatible with Windows 64-bits?
Thanks,

At present, no(*). In the future, it may become so if there is sufficient
demand.
The bulk of the pieces are there for such a port. Stuff that would need to
happen, off the top of my head:
* create new project files that set all of the (compiler and Dyninst) x86_64
flags (arch_x86_64)
* fix up any of the obvious corner cases where we use combined architecture/OS
#defines or we assume that x86_64 == linux
* fix up the various Windows system-level interfaces where we assume 32-bit
(ProcControl, Symtab, and address translation are the three that first spring
to mind)
* (optional) fix any linux-isms in our 32-bit mutatee/64-bit mutator support
(and provide Windows equivalents where needed); if you're willing to not mix
address widths between tool and target, this can be skipped
* debug the remaining annoying problems that inevitably result from porting
dyninst to what is (functionally) a new OS and set of standard libraries
What sort of tool do you have in mind?
(*) Dyninst does work fine for 32-bit applications on a 64-bit Windows
installation.
