Subject: mixing 32 and 64 bit?
Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2006 11:18:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44893D00.8090807@conterra.de> (raw)
I just wonder how some userland applications are able to use 64-bit
capabilities although they are started by an ELF 32-bit binary. I observed
this when installing vmware: Even if the binary is an ELF32, it is
able to provide an 64Bit ABI to its guest OS. Until now I thought a
process is either 32bit or 64bit. Seems this is not true.
Has some one a good link or entry point about this topic?
I could not find a matching keyword to search for.
Regards, Dieter.
