32bit-64bit

I wrote a custom MSBuild task which calls SubWCRev.exe , an executable which (typically) resides in C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin , whether it's 32 or 64 bits, since TortoiseSVN provides both versions. The problem is, Visual Studio 2010 only has a 32 bit version. So when my colleagues with a 64 bit box try to build using my shiny new task, $(ProgramFiles) resolves to C:\Program Files(x86) and it explodes saying that SubWCRev.exe cannot be found. Because they have the 64 bit version of TortoiseSVN, which lives in C:\Program Files ! Is there a better solution than hardcoding C:\Program Files

I am a newbie to bluetooth and this is the thing i want to do , I want to to get the device information that gets connected to the Bluetooth on my pc and write the info in a file. which api should i use and how to implement . I came across bluecove but on a few searches i found that bluecove doesn't work on 64 bit pc's. what should i do now .i want this to work on both 32 bit and 64 bit pcs. Thankx The bluetooth apis recommended in the oracle tutorials are included in the JSR 82 API specification. I think though, that the latest release of the BlueCove (2.1.1)includes the driver for windows 7

I have a 64-bit version of llvm-gcc, but I want to be able to build both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries. Is there a flag for this? I tried passing -m32 (which works on the regular gcc), but I get an error message like this: [jay@andesite]$ llvm-gcc -m32 test.c -o test Warning: Generation of 64-bit code for a 32-bit processor requested. Warning: 64-bit processors all have at least SSE2. /tmp/cchzYo9t.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cchzYo9t.s:8: Error: bad register name `%rbp' /tmp/cchzYo9t.s:9: Error: bad register name `%rsp' ... This is backwards; I want to generate 32-bit code for a 64-bit processor

I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 14.04 a few days ago and in the process switched from 32 to 64 bits. Ever since, Eclipse has gotten really unstable. After having run for a few minutes it will start randomly freezing for longer and longer periods of time, particularly on code completion (already had to disable that), but also on cut/pasting, occasionally on saving, and sometimes for no apparent reason at all. During the freezes it pumps both CPUs to 100%. Sometimes it then comes back as if nothing had happened, sometimes it'll spout errors about being out of memory, timing out or exceeding the GC

The usual check to differentiate between running Python-application on Windows and on other OSes (Linux typically) is to use conditional: if sys.platform == 'win32': ... But I wonder is it safe to use today when 64-bit Python is more widely used in last years? Does 32 really means 32-bit, or basically it refers to Win32 API? If there is possibility to have one day sys.platform as 'win64' maybe such condition would be more universal? if sys.platform.startswith('win'): ... There is also another way to detect Windows I'm aware of: if os.name == 'nt': ... But I really never saw in other code the
