Steve,
I cloned your Git repository. Instead of editing your Makefile
to switch
from your file structure to mine, I created a SCons build,
using the
separate compilation approach for now. with my 64-bit build of
your
code, I am seeing errors such as:
acomp.d(782): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression
(parent.children.length + 1LU) of type ulong to int
acomp.d(801): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression
(p.children.length + 1LU) of type ulong to int
acomp.d(857): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression
(p.children.length) of type ulong to int
so it looks like your code is 32-bit specific. I guess this is
the
ago-old problem of C, C++, D, etc. that int is the most natural
size for
the platform, code is inherently not as portable as you think.
Thanks Russel. I suspected that would be the case - like you say,
old habits die hard. I guess I'll have to install 64 bit Ubuntu
on my laptop so I have somewhere to launder the code, and build
64 bit.
