The basic aim of ilp32 is to emulate an old 32 bit environment on a new
processor that supports 64 registers and pointers. However that has
never been the real aim, if one was just trying to support old programs
there would be little need for a special compiler option as you'd have
the old co

There's the x32 architecture, but I'm not sure if that's what you
want.
Has there been an implementation or design of a way of representing 64
bit pointers with ilp32 on a 64 bit system? I know this sounds like it
is rather pushing the boundary and one should just use the lp64 but I
believe it could save effort in a number of circumstances. What I was
thinking of i
