Hard to say, but I wouldn't expect a benefit because bigger data types means also more cache pollution. > In other words, does the compiler generate faster or smaller code in 64-bit > CPUs for the native > integer size? Normally the code is a little bit smaller (less sign extensions), but the data footprint is bigger. > Does it depend on architecture? The comments above are probably valid for all 64 bit CPUs except alpha which is not supported by fpc. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
