need to find 64bit C++ compiler for windows x64

[ex2cib]

anyone know of a place to get a 64bit C++ compiler for x64.

i need to find one

a free one, only want to compile one thing on it

i guess i could order a trial of 2005 visual studio professional, its supposed to work i think.

I'll do that if i absolutely have to, but dont want to go through all the trouble if i dont need to

I know a few compilers have a 64 bit switch (from a google search, IBM's does, and I think gcc does), but all it seems to do is to increase the size of int/long values.

edit: If you're just talking about a compiler that works on xp x64, http://www.amdcompare.com/ecosystem/en-us/amd64/default.aspx?Segment=Development+Tools&Category=Compilers has a list.

Studio 2005 works fine compiling for x64......the version I have can has compile for Itanium and some Pocket PC's.....:slap:

not sure how different the executable is though
