Subject: Xerces-C for Windows AMD64
We would like a
working xerces-C++ for Windows XP 64, specifically AMD64. I am starting to try
to build the source for this platform using Visual Studio 8 (Visual Studio
2005 - the final version), and I have some questions.
1) I have seen one
or two other people asking about this in the email archives,
but before I go to far, I would like to know if anyone has
gotten a functional xerces for 64 bit Windows.
2) We would like
to build with VC8, but there is no VC8 project in the 2.7.0 release. Should we
plan on creating one?
3) I have most of
the subprojects now compiling and linking for me, without
changing any source, but I still see 3 compile errors and many
disturbing compiler warnings.
The
warnings:
The most
bothersome warnings seem to me to be those where "long" is assumed to be 64
bits; on this platform, I believe that long is 32 bits even though pointers
are 64. At least according to Microsoft's documentation. An example
warning is below, but there are many more.

:
warning C4244: 'return' : conversion from '__int64'
to 'unsigned long',
possible loss of data
Is there a some
way to deal with these kind of warnings that I don't understand
built into xerces, or should we plan on changing the
source? The problem seems pretty systemic.
Here are the
errors.
Are there known
solutions for these errors or should we plan on fixing the xerces
source?
