Hi,I am translating parts of the libpurple headers. Now I seem to have a problem with this: typedef enum { PURPLE_PLUGIN_UNKNOWN = -1, /**< Unknown type. */ PURPLE_PLUGIN_STANDARD = 0, /**< Standard plugin. */ PURPLE_PLUGIN_LOADER, /**< Loader plugin. */ PURPLE_PLUGIN_PROTOCOL /**< Protocol plugin. */ } PurplePluginType; typedef int PurplePluginPriority; struct _PurplePluginInfo { unsigned int magic; unsigned int major_version; unsigned int minor_version; PurplePluginType type; // <-- maybe this is the problem? char *ui_requirement; unsigned long flags;
This last line is the problem. On non-Windows 64-Bit GCC systems sizeof(long) and sizeof(unsigned long) is 8 while it is 4 on 32-Bit systems and on Windows 64-Bit. See also here for this problematic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#64-bit_data_models
As ik already wrote it is preferred to use the types defined in the ctypes.pp unit to solve this problem (because they are defined correctly for the corresponding platform). The types are usually named similar to their C-type with a "c" equivalent (the prefix is "cu" for unsigned types). E.g. "unsigned int" will be "cuint" and "long" will be "clong". The unit also compiles with Delphi.
