[Scummvm-devel] ScummVM, Windows and 64 bit

[raziel_nosgoth]

I dont think its a good idea to speculate about possible future steps of os developers and depend the build strategy on it.
Why not simply wait, see what really happens and act accordingly.  
I mean, it wont be magic to provide 64bit builds then, but it *will* be more work to do it now and adapt it later again. 
Just my 2ct.
Take care,
Hubert

Hi Team,

as you might have heard, Apple is phasing out support for 32-bit 
applications on macOS in future versions and has already started the 
deprecation period.

What's your opinion on starting to provide official 64-bit builds for 
Windows too? I'm afraid that Microsoft will starting to phase out 32-bit 
support in the future too...

I know that the ScummVM and ResidualVM applications won't profit from 
64-bit since they don't use stuff like large memory areas, but maybe 
this would make them more future-proof?

Let me hear your thoughts!

Greetings
Lothar
