Linux 64bit support

[archanox]

Is there a branch where the work on 64 bit support is being tracked?
I'm definitely keen to see SoH compiled and running on RISC-V 64 (which has no 32bit user land)

not that i know of, #74 was closed for being too long term. 64 bit support seems like a good next step after the kinks in #28 are worked out

SoH does not support 64 bit. This is on the road map but there's more important issues to work on atm. We always accept a PR on this kind of thing if you desire to try. Also, please send questions to our Discord. The issues tracker is for developers to track bugs and minor enhancements.

@MegaMech where do you track the major enhancements? It's a bit unusual and out of the norm to not be using the GitHub Issue tracker for such things. But I guess there's a lot of things that the HarbourMasters do behind closed doors that isn't out in the open.
Regardless if it is a small or large piece of work, there's no indication of what's actually on the roadmap.

Major enhancements can be discussed in the discussion channels on Discord.

Whenever you find a u32 or uint32_t that contains a memory address, feel free to submit a PR (or just mention it in an issue, such as this one) that changes it to uintptr_t. Same thing when you see a hardcoded size rather than sizeof(...), that would result in too little memory being allocated on 64-bit. When all those things are fixed, we are very close to 64-bit support.

64 bit support is in develop branch.
