After 5 years, Microsoft responded to the complex: no 64-bit Visual Studio

Computer Store News: In 2011, a user made a request on Visual Studio's feedback suggestion website, hoping that Microsoft will develop a 64-bit version of the Visual Studio Developer Suite tool to solve the problem of insufficient memory. However, in 2016, five years later, Microsoft finally responded and finally refused.

As we all know, due to the use of large memory, few people use Windows 32-bit operating system, 32-bit programs are limited by 32-bit address space, can not make full use of large memory, but Microsoft Visual Studio team said, The 64-bit version of Visual Studio will cause performance degradation, which is not conducive to performance, and it is recommended that users use the vsFunnel extension to optimize memory. In the reply, Microsoft quoted comments from the MSDN blog on 64-bit and 32-bit programs in December last year, saying that smaller means faster, and if the program runs out of memory, it is recommended to use two options: streamlining code or using more memory, and Microsoft The first option is recommended. Of course, Visual Studio here means that the software itself does not support 64-bit properties, but can still compile and generate other 64-bit programs, including the toolchain.
