In the Windows world we ship 32-bit DLLs because we count on "thunking" to allow this code to run in either 64-bit or 32-bit environments. But we do plan on upgrading our Windows development environment to 64-bit in the next four years.
In the Linux world we planned to drop 32-bit support with v33 (Oct-2015) but found that too many people still run 32-bit Linux, so we added 32-bit versions to all of our programmer tools:
- our PHP module (phpdrgv33_32bit.so)
- our Perl module (perldrgv33_32bit.so)
- our C-callable object (libdrgv33_32bit.so)
- DRGFilt (drgfiltv33_32bit)
We named the 32-bit versions by adding "_32bit" to the end of the file name and therefore before the extension. If you buy any of these modules, you get both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. If you are in a 32-bit environment, you can either rename the object or call the 32-bit version explicitly.
