So, should the compiler optimize that to
MOV X,0
or
NOP
?
So on systems where sizeof(int) <= sizeof(int32_t) -- which is everything that
matters
Really? Where have you been? OS X the default has been to compile for 64-bits
in which case sizeof(int) == sizeof(int64_t) since Leopard (10.5) in 2009. The kernel
went default 64-bits in Snow Leopard (10.6) in 2010. OS X on x86 has always
supported mixed 32/64 bit applications (as long as the CPU did) regardless of what
the kernel was (a 32-bit kernel could run 64-bit applications).
