Hi, We seem to have two ways to get the same piece of information. We can get the target (?) word size as wORD_SIZE but there's also the platformWordSize field in the Platform data type, which is held as targetPlatform in DynFlags. Which one should I use? Most code uses wORD_SIZE. -- Johan

We should kill one or the other, probably platformWordSize. Cheers, Simon
