Hello all. I have a question regarding word size on ARM Android
platform. What is the difference between word and double-word for ARM?
Thank you!
For ARM, a word is 32-bits (4 bytes). A dword is 64-bits (8 bytes). This holds true from ARMv1 to latest ARMv8 architectures. In the software world, it is advisable to use clearly defined type sizes to improve readability and maintainability.
