Is the mingw version that is officially release by the LDC capable of producing 64-bit binaries or is the MSVC version neccessary for that?

I tried ldmd2 -m64 source.d
but that produced a 32-bit executable.

There were 2 64-bit releases for windows. I used one with ld to succesfully compile small application. It's bare metal, though.

So non of the officialy released packages are able to produce 64-bit binaries?

The things are still on their way:

Hi Benjamin!

Yes, that is true.

I hope to land my exception handling patch in LLVM trunk soon. Then we can release versions for mingw64 and MSVC, too.

http://reviews.llvm.org/D4081 - this seems to be committed. Does it implement support for exceptions on win64?

Yes, this is the base for exceptions on win64. It implements the mingw-w64 model so LDC binaries for native Win64 and mingw-w64 are possible.
