Don't forget that quite a few MySQL data structure members are C long types
which are 64 bit on x86_64.
So if you want code to work on x86_64 as well as x86 it needs a type alias.
For example in st_net these members:
struct st_net
{
Vio *vio;
ubyte *buff;
ubyte *buff_end;
ubyte *write_pos;
ubyte *read_pos;
SOCKET fd;
uint remain_in_buf; <<<
uint length; <<<
uint buf_length; <<<
uint where_b; <<<
uint max_packet; <<<
uint max_packet_size; <<<
are 32 bit on x86 and 64 bit on x86_64
Many other MySQL structures and quite a few function arguments have the same
issue.
Of course, not many people seem to be using the compiler for 64 bit code at the
moment.
