Well, /W64 works for MS-C++ as well.

Then you have used C only in a very small windows of opportunity. You have
missed the intersting world of the 80286 with it's host of very interesting

And you have not yet arrived the great new world of 64 bit computing - where
a pointer is twice the size of an int.
