So, while no native 64-bit compilers are available for free as part of Visual Studio Express 2012 (11), it doesn't matter much. The issue is more that it's very much Microsoft's whim whether they release compilers at all and if so, which ones, when and how.
I think I have a pretty vanilla Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop and: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64>.\cl Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.51106.1 for x64 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ] C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64> Am I misunderstanding the discussion here? Isn't that the 64-bit tool suite? Does anyone care if the compiler is a 64 bit binary itself? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
