I have no objection to have some conditional parts for C99- specific feature, but I feel negative with the total migration to C99. "For LLP64 platform except of Win64, C99 compiler is needed" would be enough, if Pierre's guessing is correct. The usage of FT_UINT_TO_POINTER() macro is only used to store the 32-bit integer (GID) into the storage of FT_List object directly. I feel it's overkill to close C89 support just to keep this method in LLP64 on the platforms which we have not known their names yet. Regards, mpsuzuki P.S. If we have a time machine, we should suggest to have an union instead of void pointer in FT_ListRec X-( _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
