Hi!
What would be neat would be a page, either at squeakvm.org or on the wiki, which would answer some of the common 64-bit questions that come up from time to time. For instance, here are some of mine:
- For which hardware/OS combinations is there a 64-bit VM?
- Does this VM run both 32-bit and 64-bit images?
- How do I convert a 32-bit image to a 64-bit one?
- My OS allows a single process to grow to 3.75GB; if I need a lot of objects can I use a 32-bit image / VM, or must I use a 64-bit one?
- What are the advantages/disadvantages to using 64-bits?
- Why isn't there an officially-released 64-bit image?
I will meet with Dan at OOPSLA next week and will check with him about these questions - I suspect he can shed some light on a few of them.
regards, Göran
