Size_t demotion warnings on Windows x64 builds
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: QPID-3038
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3038
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client, C++ Clustering
    Affects Versions: 0.8
         Environment: C++ build for x64 windows platform
            Reporter: Chuck Rolke
            Priority: Minor


Scattered throughout the C++ source code are headers and source modules that 
treat size_t as int32_t, uint32_t, int, ULONG, and so on. Since the warnings 
are in .H files they are repeated dozens of times in any given build. I don't 
see any of the same warnings on a 64-bit linux build. Are they suppressed? Is 
this anything to worry about? None of the instances I've seen has any real 
problem until a buffer or I/O size gets up to around 2GB so they don't seem 
that bad.
