Code x86 and x64 compatibility

[WojTec]

I want ask, because I'm not experienced in Win64 - what are diffrences between API x86/x64? Software that working on x86 should work on x64? For example registry access? Or data types? On code is enought or is required to write parts for x86 and x64?

Hello,

you may want to read the official article concerning cross platform development:

Thank you, I studied it and looks to bo nothing special in Pascal, harder can be in Assembler, but I'm not familiar to it.

Could you explain me what are "rometo profiles", because I still don't understand it :(

[daywalker9]

You need a remote profile for debugging programs written in Delphi for Mac OS X and 64-Bit (if your own Machine doesn't have 64-Bit OS). On the Target-PC you have to install the PAServer (Platform Assistant).

On your PC where the Delphi is installed you have to create those remote profiles with the ip, port, password and platform. Those settings can be changed during the installation of the PAServer.

I have Win32. This mean proggy will by send and run to another machine with correspondent OS (eg. Win64) and Delphi throught this server will debug it?

[mkinzler]

Yes. And smart programs, too.

[WojTec]

Ok, I understand, thanks :)

Now about Mac. It is x32 or x64? To run Mac app is required some MacOS, there is important wich version (10.1, etc.) is it? What about app for mobiles by Apple - is there any emulator or Mac is required too?

[daywalker9]

Currently it's x32 for Mac.

Its possible to run mobile Apps for iOS on Windows. But its not a real iPad/iPod Simulator, for that you need a Mac with XCode installed.

[WojTec]

On my machine MacOS setup don't want to start (display screen with apple on center and then freezes) so any iOS emulator will be helpful, where can I download any?

What do you mean with "your machine"? It must be apple hardware.

The iOS Simulator is part of the iOS platform tools
