[Ace-users] Re: [tao-users] Windows 64 bit platform

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

Between the doc_group 1.5.6 and 1.5.8 we did fix several 64bit issues, we do
have several 64bit warnings left, people are working on that, but we do
search for more funding to fix the last ones. As you can see on
http://remedy.nl, the doc_group version of ACE/TAO does get tested daily on
Windows XP 64bit with Intel C++ 9.1, we build with Intel 9.0. Hopefully soon
we get some funding to do the port to Intel C++ 10.0. On the scoreboard you
can see that the doc_group version of ACE/TAO/CIAO is tested on a lot of
platforms and you can see exactly the status of each port. We do use the
doc_group version with Intel C++ 9.1 in a large customer project that runs
on Linux 32bit/EM64T/IA64 and Windows 64bit, all with Intel C++ without any
problems.
