This documents progress made in porting AOO to run on 64 bit Windows.
This has traditionally been a difficult platform to port to due to Windows uniquely being a LLP64 platform, whereas *nix is LP64; ie. sizeof(long) == 32 on Win64, but 64 on *nix. Every "long" everywhere in the codebase may have to potentially be replaced, and every conversion between long and pointer will definitely need replacement. A UNO bridge for LLP64 will also be necessary.
It's not all doom and gloom though. The *nix 64 bit port already must have eliminated conversions between int and pointer, making our life easier. Java, Python, StarBasic and other languages with types of known size should be ok.
So starting with Windows 7 64 bit, Cygwin64, 64 bit Java 9, Ant 1.10.2, let's push on and see how far we get.
