[Mono-devel-list] (AMD64) Compiler Warnings (2)

[Willibald Krenn]

Hi!

Next revision..

Changelog:
   -> fixed some POINTER_TO_XXX casts that were wrong.
	(in debuger code, and IIRC mini.c, trace.c)
   -> renamed printf constants
   -> added description to intps.h
   -> intstd.h check thrown out again
   -> intps.h header does not need config.h anymore
   -> uintptr, intptr mapped to g[u]int32/64
   -> reverted some changed fields back to original
   -> removed one usage of printf constants (the one Paolo pointed out)
   -> removed extra casts

Attention: There is still some 'interface change' present in the patch: 
The debug event now takes an uintptr_t as data argument. (This is 
because ip addresses get assigned to that arg.)

Compiles fine on 37188.

Small change in plan: Did not re-check all printf statements for this, 
because:
  - I do not have that intimate knowledge of the code
  - more changes would introduce more errors
  - the additional digits won't get printed
  - cast could hide bug (casts are 'evil')
  - for most part if something changes size between 32 and 64 bit
    but should not, then the chosen datatype is wrong alltogether.
    (g[s]size comes to mind)


Thanks,
  Willi
