<div dir="ltr">I agree that this is unfortunate behavior of Windows.  Ian Taylor and I did some tests of speed and memory usage between 32-bit and 64-bit compilers and were also puzzled as to why Windows implements long ints as 32-bit.  I'm not sure if it is helpful, but a summary of our investigations is here:<div>

Following up on what Arni mentioned about 32-bit and 64-bit compilations, I agree and have set up Visual Studio to compile 32- or 64-bit ADMB programs at my will.  Ian Taylor and I set this up to provide 32- and 64-bit Windows versions of Stock Synthesis.</div>

                <br>
                on linux I get output<br>

                this is 64 bytes<br>
                this is 64 bytes<br>
                this is 32 bytes<br>

                using the windows cross compiler I get<br>

                this is 64 bytes<br>
                this is 32 bytes<br>
                this is 32 bytes<br>

                so a long int is 32 bytes in the 64 bit version.
