Or in other words, + application programs compiled with initial 0.9.8 headers will + be expected to work with future minor release .DLL without need + to re-compile, even if future minor release features modified API. + - Above mentioned API modifications have everything to do with + elimination of a number of limitations, which are normally + considered inherent to 32-bit platforms. Which in turn is why they + are treated as limitations on 64-bit platform such as Win64:-) + The current list comprises [but not necessarily limited to]: + + - null-terminated strings may not be longer than 2G-1 bytes, + longer strings are treated as zero-length; + - dynamically and *internally* allocated chunks can't be larger + than 2G-1 bytes; + - inability to encrypt/decrypt chunks of data larger than 4GB + [it's possibly to *hash* chunks of arbitrary size through]; + + Neither of these is actually big deal and hardly encountered + in real-life applications. + + Compiling procedure + ------------------- + + You will need Perl. You can run under Cygwin or you can download + ActiveState Perl from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl. + + You will need Microsoft Platform SDK, available for download at + http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/. As per + April 2005 Platform SDK is equipped with Win64 compilers, as well + as assemblers, but it might change in the future. + + To build for Win64/x64: + + > perl Configure VC-WIN64A + > ms\do_win64a + > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak + > cd out32dll + > ..\ms\test + + To build for Win64/IA64: + + > perl Configure VC-WIN64I + > ms\do_win64i + > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak + > cd out32dll + > ..\ms\test + + Naturally test-suite itself has to be executed on the target platform. + + Installation + ------------ + + TBD, for now see INSTALL.W32. + |
