This webcast offers key insights into the critical areas that often require a developer's attention during the transition to 64-bit. Topics covered include: problems caused by incorrect typecasting and how to correct them using the newly introduced pointer-precision types; the Virtual Address Space as a quick-port procedure; the proper alignment of types in 64-bit Windows and the correlation between structure alignment rules and declared-variable alignment rules; and the padding policy implemented by the compiler and how to utilize padded and unpadded structures to facilitate the migration of 32-bit structures to 64-bit.
