[A21.5$21.4] Xemacs Unstable on 64-bit Systems

APPROVE 21.5 RECOMMEND 21.4 Thanks Hans! "Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt;&quot; <ethersoft(a)gmail.com&gt; writes: "(size_t) rrtn" would work, by converting to something with the right size and the same value (assuming it's positive; size_t is always at least as big as an int), but the original "(size_t *) &rrtn" formula says "access storage of width sizeof(int) as if it were sizeof(size_t) wide". IIRC on most 64-bit machines int is still 32 bits, while size_t is 64 bits. (At least that's true with GCC on AMD64.) So you get garbage in the other half of the value. Well, given Martin's modesty, I'm sure unwilling to claim to really understand the code, but I'm willing to bet future debugging time that the patch is correct. So ... fire when ready! _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
