Given that PostgreSQL runs fine on other 64-bit architectures, unsubstantiated claims about other compilers being affected are probably just going to distract you from the work that needs to be done. I suggest you concentrate on fixing the problem at hand, namely you take the actual compiler warnings and errors and develop fixes for them. Perhaps a generalization will arise here or there, but so far you are the only person who has actually seen the problems, so all the rest of us are just idly guessing. That said, if most of the problems can be fixed by replacing int by size_t, please go for it. I think in most cases the use of int was just laziness rather than careful planning. Also, please consider setting up a buildfarm client for this port. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
