Hey guys, Can I get some clarification in lfind on x64 not using size_t* but using unsinged int* What is the best course of action to take ? Is there anything that can be done in mingw-w64

The pointer aliasing violation is only a potential problem in cases 1 and 2. But binary compatibility with the CRT is only a concern in case 4. And even then, a small wrapper that converts back-and-forth would not be hard. So I fail to see an excuse. I'm totally not merging that ugly ifdef hack. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont _______________________________________________ vlc-devel mailing list To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options: https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel
