But 64bit support on *Windows* is probably not gonna happen in any near
future

Hi,<br>
I'm wondering : why the D compiler can't produce x86_64 code ? All seems to be 
ready in the langage for 64 bits. I need to produce a .dll file in both 32 and 
64 bits, but I can't. Will we see soon a 64 bits version of the D Compiler or 
should I re-write my apps in C++ ?<br>

There is a reason for 64 bits support. First :
64 bit support on windows is up, I'm using vista (*sight* for development 
purpose :/) 64 bits, it is fully functionnal.

I'm writing a taskbar replacement for the shell, and I need to use a hook to 
build application thumbs on Windows XP. The problem is :
A hook in a 32 bits dll can hook only 32 bits process.
A hook in a 64 bits dll can hook only 64 bits process.

I want my task bar to run on both 32 and 64 bits platforms, so I need a 64 bit 
version of my dll. Here is my problem.

Thanks for the link to ldc, I didn't knew about it.
