I am attempting to build the SVN release of python on Visual Studio 8. I get the warning messages such as the following:
..\..\Modules\cPickle.c(527) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'Py_ssize_t' to 'int', possible loss of data ..\..\Modules\binascii.c(285) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'Py_ssize_t' to 'unsigned char', possible loss of data ..\..\PC\_winreg.c(736) : warning C4267: '=' : conversion from 'size_t' to 'DWORD', possible loss of data c:\python25_svn_64\objects\stringlib/fastsearch.h(57) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'Py_ssize_t' to 'long', possible loss of data It's my understanding that the underlying type of the Py_ssize_t is 64- bit while ints and longs are 32-bit in VS 2005 -- hence the basis of the warnings. Can you tell me if this is an issue of concern, or can I ignore the warnings? Thank you, Alan Nichols -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
