32-bit

Checks if the architecture is 32-bit Convenience function to determine if the target architecture uses 32-bit pointers and address space. This is important for embedded systems and legacy platform compatibility.

32-bit Architecture Considerations

• Memory Limitations: 4GB address space limit
• Embedded Systems: Common in resource-constrained environments
• Legacy Compatibility: Support for older platforms and systems

Returns

true if target architecture is 32-bit

Note

This function is constexpr and evaluates at compile time

See also

is64BitArchitecture() for the complementary check

getPointerSize() for the actual pointer size in bits

ArchitectureInfo::is32Bit() for member function version

aware code

if constexpr (trlc::platform::is32BitArchitecture()) {
    // Use memory-efficient data structures
    static_assert(sizeof(void*) == 4);
    using offset_type = std::uint32_t;
} else {
    // 64-bit architecture, can use larger types
    using offset_type = std::uint64_t;
}
