Hello, All. At first glance subj is not a big deal, but C++ language is moving toward strict type checking and on this way a problem appear: how to initialize variables? NULL cannot be assigned to integers (well, it can, but produce annoying warning in current versions and may be prohibited in future ones), 0 cannot be assigned to pointers. So, there is no way to write code which is smoothly compiled on both x86 and x86_64. I see three ways to solve this situation: 1) Make handle unconditionally a integer; 2) Make handle unconditionally a pointer; 3) Define macro NULL_HANDLE which has to be used for initialization.
Actually, 2) is not an option because old binaries will be broken on 64 bits platforms.
