Pointers are 64bits.
int is 32 bits, long is 64 bits.
size_t is 64 bits.
VC++ is Microsoft's compiler, DMD-x64 uses the de-facto standard
Microsoft linker, since OPTLINK doesn't support 64bit.
It is available for free.
I have installed it and am still unable to compile a 64 bit D program.

If you use the Windows Installer for DMD after you've installed VC++,
then it should automatically set everything up for you (I haven't tried
it personally, but I know the DMD Win Installer people went to a lot of
effort to make it work, so it should work).
Oh, I forgot to mention, you'll also need to install the Microsoft's
Windows SDK (not sure if that's automatically done when installing VC++
or not.) So after VC++ and the WinSDK are installed, then run DMD's
Windows installer, and you should be good.
Or you can manually setup DMD's sc.ini with the right paths to VC++ and
the WinSDK (that's what I did), but it's probably easier to just run the
DMD Windows Installer again after all the MS stuff is installed.
