Yes. I have been working for three months on a 64-bit platform and have yet to encounter any issues. Bill

Thats great! But is there anyone I can ask to for official confirmation? ChuMing

I have been using Boost with VC++ 8.0 x64 for a long time, and have not ran into any notable issues - really just warnings like casting unsigned int to size_t.

There was no official test of this platform for 1.33.1. The current 1.34 RC is being tested with 64 bit Windows (See Huang-WinXP-x64) and Linux (see Martin Wille x86_64 V2). You can see the results there: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/su... Jeff

64-bit Windows is not in the required platform list for 1.34. VS2005 and Intel 9.1+VC8 are being tested nightly though. If enough people express their interests, it might change our release manager's mind. Sean

That would be of great help, since my code has to compile/work on multiple platforms including Windows on IA64. regards, Prashant Thakre
Yup I think it will definitely be good to have windows 64 on the list considering that there will be increasing efforts on the part of major software houses to move over to the 64-platforms within these few years. Thanks! Chu-Ming
