Hi all
its a very basic ques may be for many of you .but i have this confusion from
long that is.
when we say this application is 32 bit application or 64 bit what do we mean
by that
is it processor which is 32 bit or 64 bit
or the OS which is is 32 bit or 64 bit
or what ?
2. Does it have some

Apart from these, following wiki link best describes what makes an
architecture as 64 bit.

2. Does it have some relation that in windows in C language int size
According to the C standard, sizeof(int) is the native register width.
And that is basically defined by the CPU. So if sizeof(int) == 2,

32 bit. app
1) The addresses are limited to 32 bit(can be more in some cases). The
address space is limited to this value.
2) It will run on both 32 bit OS and 64 bit OS(64 bit OS can run 32 bit
apps)
3) A pointer is of 4 bytes.
4) some other differences wrt to other data types
64bit app:
1)
