[Kicad-developers] sizeof int and sizeof(size_t) on x86_64

2012-04-13 Thread Dick Hollenbeck
On 64-bit builds, integers are 64 bits so it becomes meaningless at that point. Even on 32 bit hardware, there are much more pressing issues that need to be resolved. Knowing now that int is 32 bit on x86_64 under gcc, we should also know that size_t is 64 bits. This can be an issue when
