Return type of MaxRetrievable()

[Michael Mertens]

Hi,

the return type of MaxRetrievable() changed in the CVS from unsigned
long to CryptoPP::lword (revision 1.19). Is there a case where negative
values are returned?

The CRYPTOPP_MAINTAIN_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY switch ignores this problem:

#ifdef CRYPTOPP_MAINTAIN_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
unsigned long MaxRetrieveable() const {return MaxRetrievable();}
#endif


In the next release, what is the type returned by MaxRetrievable()?

Regards,
Michael
