Dear all,
I do not see why win32 lazarus should be the default on a win64 platform.
The most suitable build to the platform were one works must be the
default.
Taking the best out of each particular platform is an implicit in the
promise :
Write once ... compile everywhere
The allocatable memory is an improovement in win64 over win 32 (and
linux64 over linux32)
With Lazarus 1.2 there seems to be a i386 add-in installer for Win64 so
that one can develop 32-Bit Windows applications as well, so this seems
to be less of a problem indeed. Nevertheless the 2.6 series of the
64-bit compiler still has problems regarding exceptions in non-FPC
binaries that were only solved in 2.7.1, so in this regard it is
definitely more problematic to use the 64-bit version of Lazarus.
Regards,
Sven
