In addition to this sort of gotcha be aware of the inherent/documented differences. In 32-bit C, for example, a uint and a size_t are the same thing -- you can pass & of a size_t to a method with uint * in its prototype; but in AMODE 64 C they are not the same thing and you cannot.
What's uint? I can't find it in stdint.h. I can however find uint32_t, uint64_t etc which explicitly state the number of bits in the type definition name. I always use the typedefs in stdint.h as a matter of course (cstdint for C++). There's also a __ptr32 definition.
The only issue I run into with 64bit C/C++ code is having to deal with assembler service routines that were written for 32bit. And you can't just recompile
with a different compiler option to make them 64bit! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
