Solaris 7 64-bit Developer's Guide

The Solaris 7 64-bit Developer's Guide is written for the application developer, and provides guidance on how to determine whether an application should be 32-bit or 64-bit. It lists the similarities and differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit application environments, explains how to write code that is portable between the two environments, and describes the tools provided by the operating system for developing 64-bit applications. It explains the differences between the Solaris 32-bit and 64-bit build and runtime environments. It is written to help the application developer determine if and when it is appropriate to convert code to be 64-bit safe.
