Good 64-bit native code migration tips from Intel

If you happen to work with native code from time to time like I do (not everything is .NET, you see), or if you happen to be interested in processor's inner workings, Intel's developer blog is a nice stream to follow. Recently, there has been a very nice article titled "A Collection of Examples of 64-bit Errors in Real Programs" that I suggest reading.

The article deals with migration issues of C++ code from 32-bit to 64-bit world. Of course, this applies to any native code language that supports pointers.
