Hi guys.
Is there a going development on x64 compiler for windows? Or D

Thanks

As far as I know, optlink (linker used by dmd on windows) cannot 
output 64bit binaries, so until optlink gets upgraded (or until 
dmd switches to another linker, which I think all of us windows 
devs would really like to see) there will be no support for 64bit 
D applications on windows..

No.
object file format, librarian, linker, etc. are from the stone age and  
don't support x64.
Will take time.

Is there any roadmap/timeline when we should wait for x64? Is the 
work started about it at all?

Thanks

No.
I totally forgot that you can use gdc though.

Given that there is x64 MinGW version of gdc that shouldn't be a problem?
(GDC is usually around one release behind though)

You can compile and run LDC2 on Windows x64. The major problem is 
missing support for SEH64 exception handling in the used LLVM compiler 
framework.

Does it support at least DWARF exceptions?

It is a known blocker issue.
Nothing has been announced, but it will definitely happen.
It is surely far less work than adding 64-bit code generation to an 
ancient 32-bit back-end (which took Walter less than one year).
