A bit off topic, but when did a DWORD implicitly become 64bits?

- robertlagrant 5y agoI heard the bird was DWORD.
- veltas 5y agoLots of ISAs consider 32-bit to be a 'word'. And now they have the same problem that Intel already encountered that it's easier to start referring to a new larger native word size as a 'double-word' and the cycle continues...
- SavantIdiot 5y agoClearly I'm stuck in late-1980's-x86-ASM-land. BYTE, WORD, DWORD[, QWORD].
