Re: How to tell 32 or 64 bit

perl -E 'say log(~0)/log(2)'
[download]

update:

Note that this command shows the number of bits on an IV, the type used internally by Perl to handle integers. Usually, it has the same number of bits as the CPU architecture but it is also possible to compile Perl for a 32 bits architecture while having 64 bits IVs. For instance, Debian does it.

UNTRUE!: `$ perl -wE'say log(~0)/log(2)' 64 $ perl -v This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 0 (v5.16.0) built for i686-linu +x-64int-ld $ ux Linux 3.4.6-2.10-desktop [openSUSE 12.2 (Mantis)] i386 Core(TM) i7-26 +20M CPU @ 2.70GHz/800(4) i686` [download] On 32bit systems I build my perl with -Duse64bitint and -Duselongdouble, so your statement will not work at all!

`length(pack('J',0))` [download] in the past I used that, but then I realized that 64 bit IVs but 32 bit pointers and machine code Perls existed, so it is wrong. Another good way to telling is `perl -MConfig -e "print $Config{ptrsize}"` [download] which will return 4 or 8, and is NOT the IV size	[reply] [d/l] [select]
