64bit compatibility

[Andreas Tscharner]

Hello World,

Is scintilla 64bit compatible?

As far as I could see from the bug tracker and feature request tracker
entries, it seem to be so.

But.. is there an "official" statement or something like this?

Best regards
Andreas

I have been compiling and using it on x86-64 for some years with no problem.

Cheers

Yes.

There is no real policy and platforms may not be consistent: on
Windows which uses the LLP64 model an individual document may not
exceed 2GB but on Unix which normally uses the LP64 model documents
may be much larger.

It may actually be better to choose to use 32 bit document
positions on Unix versions and thus restrict documents to 2GB as this
would decrease memory use significantly.
