No. And Matlab does not provide 64 bit C compiler.

You have to dig to third party compilers, some of them (Microsoft to avoid citing any company name) requires a huge SDK package, etc...

Some of the complex code might be a pain to convert to 64 bits. I still have few of them that I have not time to convert yet, though I have a 64-bit machine since 6 months.
