And, if you've written optimized code, you've written unportable code.
Such code need not be splattered about. You contain the non-portable stuff and mark it accordingly. I've been porting some 32-bit stuff to 64-bit and the biggest issues have been dealing with casts from pointers to 32-bit ints, because the pointers are too big, and in some assembly code to do CPU detection (which is of course expected). The pointer issue comes from some streaming code that tries to stream structures across the network. The pointers get converted to integer tags for transit and back again when received. That'll probably be an issue in any streaming library. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
