Hi,

Thanks for the patch, but it will not be applied, for two reasons:

1) It uses intptr_t without including the header file that is supposed
   to define it, namely <stdint.h>. In fact, <stdint.h> is not even
   present on OpenBSD 3.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1,
   Interix 3.5, BeOS.

2) sizeof(long) < sizeof(void*) is just stupid. Microsoft did it
   because of backward compatibility. They spit on standards: They
   are not even providing <stdint.h> and <inttypes.h> that are
   specified in ISO C99.

Your best option is to not use Win64 compilation mode, I'd guess.

Bruno
