after much difficulty trying to get subscribed to the list, here is my question.
#define CAST(x) reinterpret_cast<DWORD>( x )
or
#define CAST(x) (DWORD)( x )
...
// All msdos data structures must be packed on a 1 byte boundary
#pragma pack (1)
struct {
DWORD StartingSector ;
WORD NumberOfSectors ;
DWORD pBuffer;
} ControlBlock;
#pragma pack ()
...
ControlBlock.pBuffer = CAST(buffer) ;
"dgeomlib.cpp:178: error: cast from 'unsigned char*' to 'DWORD' loses precision"
this only occurs on 64-bit target compiler.
how can I circumvent?
or, how can I use ifdefs to disable this windows 9x code only for x64 target
(obviously the x64-output compiler must have some sort of #define?)?
