The compiler is not 64 bit. :)


Which compiler are you talking about? The JIT compiler is 64 bit, the C++ x64 targeting compiler is available as both 32 & 64 bit. Roslyn is 32 bit because, well, the x64 JIT is dog slow :-)


I was referring to C#, but I may have misunderstood the parent. The C# compiler isn't 64, but unfortunately it's not because of the JIT.
