GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain

Possibility of win64 packages

Asked by DaAwesomeP

Would you consider releasing win64 packages? I have msys2 set up in 64-bit and I've noticed a speed difference between 32-bit GCC and 64-bit GCC. I'm sure that there's a speed difference for the ARM GCC too. Thanks!

Hi,

We're considering 64-bit OS packages but don't have a timeline. Out of curiosity, what is the difference in speed are you observing?

Thanks,
Tejas.

The difference is with regular GCC, not arm-none-eabi-gcc. It depends on the size of the project. The bigger the project, the faster it is sped up. I could compile and try it though. I'm using MSYS2 and MinGW64 (not MinGW32/MSYS).

Can you help with this problem?
