This is the main thread for issues and testing related to the new x86-64 JIT compiler (
) in FS-UAE/WinUAE.
In order to test the 64-bit JIT compiler you need a 64-bit version of FS-UAE (
2.7.0dev or newer) or a 64-bit version of WinUAE (
3.2.0 beta 13 or newer). JIT should automatically be available the same way it is in 32-bit versions of *UAE. But always test with the latest versions available, of course.
This isn't a "new JIT compiler" as such, it is a modification of the old one (including a big merge of JIT code from the ARAnyM project, and fixing UAE-specific code for x86-64). As such, it is possible that the JIT support in the 32-bit FS-UAE/WinUAE is worse (or better) than before. So, if you discover that stuff stops working in the 32-bit versions (which worked well in previous beta/development versions), you are also encouraged to report that here.
In fact, the ideal testing procedure if you experience a problem with the 64-bit JIT compiler is:
- Test if the same problem occurs with the "new 32-bit JIT compiler".
- If so, test if the same problem occurs with the "old 32-bit JIT compiler" (in earlier versions of FS-UAE or WinUAE).
(If you experience WinUAE (or FS-UAE) 64-bit issues which has nothing to do with JIT, this is not the correct thread!).
64-bit versions of FS-UAE for OS X and Windows will be released as part of 2.7.1dev (soon-ish).
Happy testing
