[haskell-cafe] Question about 64bit target on Windows platform

Hi All, Can someone please let me know if there is a 64bit target on Windows on the horizon for GHC? I am trying to push for changing the current implementation in my organization in C++ to Haskell - Our primary targets are Windows and Mac. Not being able to generate 64bit DLL's on Windows would be a big bottleneck. Regards, Kashyap

I don't know if timeline has been established, but my understanding is
that there is a need for this and that the right people are aware of
it and looking into it.
The GHC trac has a ticket for this:

There is a possibility that the IHG might fund this during the next cycle, which would mean that it would be in 7.6.1. Cheers, Simon On 05/03/2012 07:35, Jason Dagit wrote:
