Please explain the difference between x86, x32 and x64? Its a bit confusing when it comes to x86 and x32 because most of the time 32-bit programs run on x86... Related/possible duplicate which als...

X32 is an ABI for amd64/x86_64 CPUs using 32-bit pointers. The idea is to combine the larger register set of x86_64 with the smaller memory and cache footprint resulting from 32-bit pointers. It pr...

X32 allows one to write programs using 32-bit integers, longs and pointers that run on x86_64 processors. Using X32 has a number of benefits under certain use cases. (X32 is different than X86 or X...

The x32 ABI specifies, among other things, 32-bit pointers for code generated for the x86_64 architecture. It combines the advantages of the x86_64 architecture (including 64-bit CPU registers) wit...

Can someone explain the difference between the three architectures? Actually when I built a 64-bit application in Linux, I got a link error saying: skipping incompatible library.a when searching fo...

Can I compile an application with the new x32 ABI, and then run it in a normal kernel? What about the runtime C library? Is there any form of interoperability with precompiled x86/x86_64 libraries?...

There is a relatively new Linux ABI referred to as x32, where the x86-64 processor runs in 32-bit mode, so pointers are still only 32-bits, but the 64-bit architecture specific registers are still ...
