/platform (Visual Studio - JScript)

Specifies which version of the common language runtime (CLR) can run the assembly.

/platform:[string]

Arguments

  • string
    x86, Itanium, x64, or anycpu (default).
  • x86 compiles your assembly to be run by the 32-bit, x86-compatible common language runtime.

  • Itanium compiles your assembly to be run by the 64-bit common language runtime on a computer with an Itanium processor.

  • x64 compiles your assembly to be run by the 64-bit common language runtime on a computer that supports the x64 or EM64T instruction set.

  • anycpu (default) compiles your assembly to run on any platform.

Remarks

On a 64-bit Windows operating system:

  • Assemblies compiled with /platform:x86 will execute on the 32 bit CLR running under WOW64.

  • Executables compiled with the /platform:anycpu will execute on the 64 bit CLR.

  • DLLs compiled with the /platform:anycpu will execute on the same CLR as the process into which it is being loaded.

For more information about developing an application to run on a Windows 64-bit operating system, see 64-bit Applications.

Example

The following example shows how to use the /platform option to specify that the application should only be run by the 64-bit CLR on a 64-bit Windows operating system for Itanium.

jsc /platform:Itanium myItanium.js
