Re^5: length of pack 'J' and Win64/Win32 C data type model, pointer length, DWORD

afaik you'd have to do some non-trivial hacking.

Absolutely. I tried it once.

We complain about the current 2106 warnings that the "successful build produces, you should see what happens when you try adding a few __int64 #defines/typedefs to the equation. Working what to change is impossible.

Don't ya just love theoreticians :)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Working what to change is impossible Yes, that was my feeling too after both of my attempts to build such a Win32 perl. I expected that the task should be much simpler now that the perl source has 64-bit config and config_H files in the win32 folder but, although they do the job for 64-bit builds, I was unable to coerce them into helping provide 64-bit integer support for 32-bit builds. (This could well be nothing more than ignorance on my part.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
