Re: [Imap-uw] 2006d Solaris 64 bit compile issues

Mark, Can't say that I expected your response below based on what others were saying about your position. Obviously my earlier response was a little too blunt and I would like to apologize. The problems frankly look pretty trivial. As in my original posting, casting pointers to integers being the most likely culprit for causing runtime failures given the size difference between a 64 bit pointer and a 32 bit integer. The fixes are likely to be quite simple in that the pointer to integer and reverse castings need to be made 64 bit aware. As for providing access to a 64 bit development system - Solaris 10 with gcc 4.1.1, I would be happy too - and no I don't expect it to take a few minutes and I would be willing to pay for your time if that helps.

To clarify my position on 64-bit builds: I will, at some time in the future, support 64-bit builds. I do not currently support 64-bit builds. I do not currently have a 64-bit system for development. I do not know why 64-bit builds do not work for some people.  I have only anecdotal information that some people have had problems. I doubt very much that this is something that I can fix by ssh'ing into someone else's 64-bit system, poking around for a few minutes, and calling it good.  I suspect that it will be a protracted process. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
