I'd like to test fpc as (itself) 64 bit.

When is that expected to release?

The Intel version of FPC 3.0.4 comes with universal 32/64 bit
binaries.

The question is for the compiler itself.  I already gen _64 bit code.

My question is related to Mac OS enforcement of 64 bit apps coming
down the pike.  (I'm not sure that includes utilities such as
compilers).

The answer is also about the compiler itself.

Please clarify that.

Is there a single installed fpc that will load (or run) as 32 or 64
bit as the OS prefers?

Yes.

Thanks.

Last question: can I force it to load 64 bit?

It's not "it" it is "them". It is all well documented.

The operating system will do that automatically if your CPU is 64 bit
capable.
