Subject: Question about type ARCH_WORD_32/64
Hi,
I just got a "incompatible pointer type" warning when casting a (uint64_t*) pointer to an (ARCH_WORD_64*) pointer on Power. This happens because ARCH_WORD_64 is defined as 'unsigned long long', while uint64_t is define as 'unsigned long' on Power. They're supposed to be the exactly same type on this arch, but somehow gcc disagrees.
OTOH, why invent ARCH_WORD_32/64 when uint32_t/uint64_t is at hand? Is there any portability problem with uint32_t/uint64_t? Or is ARCH_WORD_32/64 some legacy stuff?
