Create 64-bit desktop platform #217

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Currently, the desktop compiles with an 8K heap and claims pointers are 4 
bytes.  This fails for 64-bit systems.

I believe we've reached the point where most people have 64-bit desktop 
machines so the default should shift to 8 byte pointers.  This results in 
needing a larger heap.  Heap increased to 16 K.

EDIT: Instead of changing desktop, just create a new platform/desktop64/

- Created new desktop64 platform.  Makefile changed so desktop64 is the 
default.  desktop and desktop64 plat.h files reduced to eliminate a conditional 
that is no longer necessary.
- Ipm changed to try desktop64 first then desktop second for non-windows 
default. 
- Heap size set to 16K for desktop64 since larger pointers make all structs 
bigger.
