64-bit Windows on AMD64/Intel EM64T is supported. A collector can be built with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or with mingw-w64 gcc. NT_MAKEFILE has been used in this environment. Type "nmake -f NT_MAKEFILE cpu=AMD64 nodebug=1" in a Visual C++ command line window to build the release variant of the dynamic library with threads support. To verify that the collector is at least somewhat functional, type "nmake -f NT_MAKEFILE cpu=AMD64 check" to build and run the usual test programs. This should create gctest.gc.log after a few seconds. Test_cpp.exe might not run correctly in case of dynamic GC linking. (It seems that we're getting wrong instances of operator new/delete in some cases.) This process is completely analogous to NT_MAKEFILE usage for the 32-bit library version. A similar procedure using NT_MAKEFILE is applicable to build the static library - just pass "enable_static=1" as an extra argument to nmake. If needed, it is also possible to build the library without threads support - this could be done by passing "disable_threads=1" argument to nmake. Note that some warnings have been explicitly turned off in the makefile. VC++ note: to suppress warnings -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE is used. gcc note: -fno-strict-aliasing should be used if optimizing.
