Ascend4nt Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Just a simple question - is there any native 64-bit Itanium versions of AutoIT? I did some searches and didn't see anything that indicated there was a native Itanium version, so I'm assuming no. In that case, its safe to assume under Itanium architectures, AutoIT only runs a 32-bit version, correct. And if so, I assume there wouldn't be any plans to develop any native 64-bit Itanium versions either? I'm only curious because some 64-bit structures differ based on the chipset (thread Context structures, for example). Plus, there's a difference in 64-bit low-level programming (which I do on occasion - as crazy as I am). Thanks in advance!

Not to mention I doubt any of the devs have access to such hardware (or at least enough access)LinkRegards,FuryCell Edited June 1, 2010 by FuryCell HKTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeLyricToy:Softpedia | GoogleCodeRCTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeMichtaToolsProgrammer n. - An ingenious device that turns caffeine into code.

Ascend4nt Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Furycell, Ahh, I should have seen that article (MaximumPC fan myself)! I was guessing based on the lack of any developer response that they don't have a native version, though of course they do recognize the architecture (@OSArch will return "IA64" for Itanium chipsets). I did go ahead and look into the AutoIT install and there was only two versions of AutoIT's executable - one 32-bit, the other 64-bit (just the x86-64 [x64] version). I take this as further proof, since I see no other alternate downloads, that AutoIT has no native Itanium 64-bit version. This is good in one way (some fewer coding issues to worry about) though certain functions that don't work from 32-bit-to-64-bit processes will fail on Itanium native apps. But as it is being phased out, and is limited to certain Server O/S builds, its not a big concern.

FuryCell Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) No problem. btw I'm curious what functions you are talking about that have issues from 32bit to 64bit? It would be some good knowledge to have. =) Edited June 2, 2010 by FuryCell HKTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeLyricToy:Softpedia | GoogleCodeRCTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeMichtaToolsProgrammer n. - An ingenious device that turns caffeine into code.

Ascend4nt Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Some 'CreateToolhelp32Snapshot' lists will fail (Heaps/Modules lists), anything having to do with getting memory statistics, and reading from or writing to Process memory, the old standard for getting module file names (GetModuleBaseName, GetModuleFileNameEx - which both have wiser alternatives post-Win2000).. And probably a few others I'm not thinking of at the moment. *edit (threw in a few more) Edited June 2, 2010 by Ascend4nt My contributions: Performance Counters in Windows - Measure CPU, Disk, Network etc Performance | Network Interface Info, Statistics, and Traffic | CPU Multi-Processor Usage w/o Performance Counters | Disk and Device Read/Write Statistics | Atom Table Functions | Process, Thread, & DLL Functions UDFs | Process CPU Usage Trackers | PE File Overlay Extraction | A3X Script Extract | File + Process Imports/Exports Information | Windows Desktop Dimmer Shade | Spotlight + Focus GUI - Highlight and Dim for Eyestrain Relief | CrossHairs (FullScreen) | Rubber-Band Boxes using GUI's (_GUIBox) | GUI Fun! | IE Embedded Control Versioning (use IE9+ and HTML5 in a GUI) | Magnifier (Vista+) Functions UDF | _DLLStructDisplay (Debug!) | _EnumChildWindows (controls etc) | _FileFindEx | _ClipGetHTML | _ClipPutHTML + ClipPutHyperlink | _FileGetShortcutEx | _FilePropertiesDialog | I/O Port Functions | File(s) Drag & Drop | _RunWithReducedPrivileges | _ShellExecuteWithReducedPrivileges | _WinAPI_GetSystemInfo | dotNETGetVersions | Drive(s) Power Status | _WinGetDesktopHandle | _StringParseParameters | Screensaver, Sleep, Desktop Lock Disable | Full-Screen Crash Recovery Wrappers/Modifications of others' contributions: _DOSWildcardsToPCRegEx (original code: RobSaunder's) | WinGetAltTabWinList (original: Authenticity) UDF's added support/programming to: _ExplorerWinGetSelectedItems | MIDIEx UDF (original code: eynstyne) (All personal code/wrappers centrally located at Ascend4nt's AutoIT Code) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
