Hi
HEAD fails to compile in 64-bit mode on Mac OS X 10.6 with gcc 4.2 and
-Werror.
What happens is that INT64_FORMAT gets defined as "%ld" (which is
correct - "long" and "unsigned long" are 64 bits wide on x86_64), but
the check for a working 64-bit int fails, causing INT64_IS_BUSTED to get
defined and int64 becoming actually a 32-bit type. This is turn causes
warnings when these pseudo int64s are passed to printf with format
specified INT64_FORMAT, which get turned to errors by -Werror.
configure fails to recognize "long" as a working 64-bit type because the
does_int64_work configure test produces warning due to a missing return
value declaration for main() and a missing prototype for
does_int64_work(). (Aain, those warning are turned into errors by -Werror).
I use the following envvar settings (when running ./configure) to force
64-bit mode and -Werror
CC=gcc-4.2 CFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -Werror" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
The following patch fixed the problem for me - though I didn't yet try
it on any other platform that Mac OS X 10.6 with gcc 4.2 and in 64-bit mode.
