Update: 64-bit compiler is used

For details, see the comments below.

Original answer

What do you mean by "bit compiler"?

Could you please make your question more accurate? Add some details, explanations, and maybe some examples to help others better understand what you're after.

Thank you.

how many bits means whether 32 bit compiler/ 64 bit compiler. As it would help to know the size of different datatype

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("word size: %lu bytes", sizeof(int*));
    return 0;
}

This will tell you how many bytes form a word (a pointer in our case). Whether 4 bytes (32 bit) or 8 bytes (64 bit).

Why a pointer? Because that's a memory address and when we talk about architecture, it limits the maximum memory address we can use. So the size of the pointer reveals the architecture.

After running the above piece of code it seems like the compiler defaults to 64-bit compilation.

If you apply the flag (gear icon, "Extra compilation flags") "m64" (no quotes) you force 64-bit compilation.
If you apply the flag (gear icon, "Extra compilation flags") "m32" (no quotes) you force 32-bit compilation, but that fails to compile, so 32-bit compilation doesn't seem to be available for C projects.
