Could we get a LP64 version identifier? I know that you can use this code:

"static if ((void*).sizeof > int.sizeof)"

to do the same but that's not particular clear that the programmer wants to check for LP64. If so, I hope we could get it in D1 also.

Shouldn't that be "static if ((void*).sizeof == long.sizeof)" or just "static if ((void*).sizeof == 8)"?
(Note that in D long.sizeof is guaranteed to be 8)

version (X86) {
 ...
} else {
 ...
}

Yeah that would also work. In D both long and int have a fixed size, therefore should all three ways work.

Win64 and all non X86 32bit versions would fall in the else statement. Actually I now saw that D already has a D_LP64 version identifier.

D_LP64	- Pointers are 64 bits

It's also in D1: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/version.html

Yeah, I agree, and it's already in both for the next update. It'll be D_LP64.
