Will there be a Win64 API? [closed]

Question

If I'm correct, Win32 is adapting or has been adapted to cope with 64 bit windows, for example, GetWindowLongPtr on 64 bit as opposed to GetWindowLong on 32 bit. Will there be a Win64 Api, and if so, is there any indication on when the transition will happen?

I'm not very knowledgeable on this subject so I apologize if I have anything obvious wrong. Thanks in advance, ell.

Answer 1

This transition happened around the turn of the century. 64 bit versions of Windows using the 64 bit version of Win32 have been in use for a long time now.

However, the 64 bit version of Win32 is still known as Win32 since it is essentially an identical interface with the only major difference being different sized pointers.
