In view of the long-standing non-functioningness of the ooo64bit02 cws
- the fact that it breaks 32bit operation ;-), the sheer scale of the
problem and the problems of keeping it synchronized with the latest
developments - conspire to (in Kendy & my opinion[1]) ensure that this
"1 massive cws" will never be finished, and would be really difficult to
test & verify - and even harder to get momentum on getting it up-stream
at all.
In our view it would be far, far better to split up the fixes out of
that wherever possible and merge them as parts of other, smaller,
incremental CWS' - that can be easily reviewed / shown to be safe, and
serve to move the code base to a progressively 64bit-cleaner
environment. That would also allow us to start running tinderbox builds
over the pieces that are known to work to ensure they don't subsequently
break ( at least at compile time ).
ie. it'd be great to see people pulling nice looking bits out of
64bit02 and merging them IMHO ;-)
HTH,
Michael.
