Dear Maintainer,
I have noticed that cfengine3 3.27.1-1 did not reach testing because of
missing amrhf and i386 builds. Looking at the logs I see
...
evalfunction.c: In function 'ClassFilterDataGetClassExprFromIndex':
evalfunction.c:8065:41: error: passing argument 2 of 'StringToUlong' from
incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
8065 | if (StringToUlong(class_expr_index, &index) != 0) {

but argument is of type 'size_t *' {aka 'unsigned int *'}

...
Seems that there is a mismatch between size_t and unsigned long in 32 bit
arches. I have played with changing index type in libpromises/evalfunction.c
(see attached diff) and package builds and passes tests similarly to the
original (in an amd64 box), although did not check the resulting package.
Also tried changing things to size_t inside libntech and also builds,
however, libntech is in a different (linked) upstream repo, so I am sending
only the diff that changes things only inside cfengine3.
Hope this helps,
