As I was updating ScintillaDoc, I checked to see if the
NotifyHeader/NMHDR had been updated to match the recent change - which
also got me to examine my own (and GTK's) use of the changed field.
I am not sure what is going on exactly - this field is [apparently]
used as the GTK widget "id" value, which is clearly some kind of an
int (signed or otherwise). But the [already committed] change seems
incompatible with this usage.
Reviewing the recent ("64-bit fixes") thread dealing with this, it
seems that Neil is maintaining [I think] that the relevant PSDK header
file has changed the *actual* idFrom declaration from UINT to
UINT_PTR, without Microsoft changing the *documented* description of
this structure.
Does this sum things up? I find no mention of this change when
googling (other than our own Scintilla thread)... did Microsoft really
intend this [fairly sweeping change] to be unconditionally applied to
all environments?
If so, does this mean that the GTK widget interface needs to be
adjusted also? It matters to my OCaml GTK widget wrapper for
Scintilla, as I would have to change the wrapped representation of
this field to a type which is likely to track POINTER sizes rather
than one which tracks INTEGER sizes.
Obviously, I wasn't noticing explicitly *which* field was getting such
cavalier treatment in the previous thread. :)
