How well does the pypy compile on 64-bit windows these days?

Cheery: still not really. Contributions welcome
<Cheery>
what's missing?
<Cheery>
cfbolz: well the thing is.. I've just implemented an assembler and I kind of feel that supporting 32-bit x86 would be waste of time.
<Cheery>
when I'm about to implement a compiler on top of that...
<Cheery>
and if you catch a high end computer from somewhere...
<Cheery>
it can handle 64GB of system memory
<Cheery>
64GB kit costs something like 900 euros right now.
<Cheery>
so chances are that people go with 16GB of DDR4
<Cheery>
it's about 8 times more than what can be allocated into 32-bit address space.
<Cheery>
with higher half kernel design.
<Cheery>
you see where I'm coming from here? If I intend to go for high performance and interactive graphics here..
<Cheery>
providing 32-bit windows binaries is like crippling that.

Cheery: yes, I get that but somebody will still have to do the work
<cfbolz>
Of supporting win 64
<Cheery>
I sort of hoped that Windows were gone by the time we have to support 64-bit though.. :)
<Cheery>
cfbolz: I'll see what I can do.
<Cheery>
cfbolz: though I might not be getting far. But we'll see.
