[Gcl-devel] intptr_t

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

2.6.8 and below, fixnum == (signed-byte 32), so on 64bit machines,
intptr_t will be (unsigned-byte 64), and a bignum.

2.6.9 and higher, intptr_t will be fixnum, i.e. a machine long, on all
platforms. 

Of the patches I mentioned earlier for 2.6.9, 64bit fixnums is the
simplest.  If there was great interest I could consider this in 2.6.8,
but I'd prefer not to.

Take care,
