64-bit

Checks if the architecture is 64-bit Convenience function to determine if the target architecture uses 64-bit pointers and address space. This is equivalent to checking if the pointer size is 64 bits.

64-bit Architecture Benefits

• Large Address Space: Access to more than 4GB of memory
• Performance: Often better register utilization and instruction sets
• Modern Features: Support for advanced CPU features and optimizations

Returns

true if target architecture is 64-bit

Note

This function is constexpr and evaluates at compile time

See also

is32BitArchitecture() for the complementary check

getPointerSize() for the actual pointer size in bits

ArchitectureInfo::is64Bit() for member function version

if constexpr (trlc::platform::is64BitArchitecture()) {
    // Use 64-bit optimized data structures
    using size_type = std::uint64_t;
    using hash_type = std::uint64_t;
} else {
    // Use 32-bit compatible types
    using size_type = std::uint32_t;
    using hash_type = std::uint32_t;
}
