Re: Mixing 64 and 32-bit code

This is just what I was wondering about, whether it extisted or not. (It's really an evil thing to try to do, however.) Yes, I know. In my case, unfortunately, all I have is a 32-bit object, as closed source as it could be and I don't think we have any hope in getting the vendor to provide a 64-bit version (although they do for Linux). bye Thanks av. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The simplest answer is that it won't work-- the syscall interface and function argument/return-value sizes are going to be different between 32-bit and 64-bit code. If you have 32-bit code compiled with -fPIC which doesn't make any system calls, and is using all C99 datatypes (rather than native datatypes like int or long which are going to change in size under an ILP64 environment), well, that might be linkable into a 64-bit binary, but even so I wouldn't count on it to work without a translation shim.
