OK, I reworked (and attached) the patch for the suggestions to

This is great.  From inspection, there doesn't seem to be any other changes
needed to the C code in rpython/translator/c for Windows 64 support.  I am
assuming the 'gcc' folder there does not matter.

1. Are there any other directories where C code needs to be reviewed to
support Windows 64?

2. That still leaves the rpython code in rpython/translator/c.  Can you show
an example of where that needs fixing (regarding sizeof(long)) so I can use
that as a pattern for the remaining code?

3. rpython/jit/backend/x86: it's still not clear what part needed work here


Thanks,

Hi Roger.

Seriously, while there might be any pattern there, I would *strongly*
suggest you start running tests and see what breaks.

Cheers,
fijal

To expand on fijal's comment a bit:
First see http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/how-to-contribute.html
I think we should move toward win64 support by getting win32 to pass the own-windows-x86 tests run on a buildbot (
http://buildbot.pypy.org/summary?builder=own-win-x86-32 ) . Once we get the failures down to a reasonable number, we could start to run the tests while changing the underlying int/pointer assumptions, starting with rpython and moving into pypy.
My point is that we should do this in a controlled and test-driven process.
Support for windows is a big job, and it would be nice to have more people involved, so Roger please do not give up!
Matti
