Have a static lib, is there a simple way to know it is for 32 bit or 64 bit?

Is there any tool that can directly test if a library is made for 32 or 64 bit?

Solution

  • You can use dumpbin utility with /headers option

    It returns whether the library was built for 32 or 64 bit architecture.

    Check DUMPBIN Reference for details.

    Example usage: 

    c:\>dumpbin libXYZ.lib /headers
