Re: Compiling Xalan to 64-bit

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Well, since there's already a 64-bit binary distribution available for
HP-11, I think you can assume the code is 64-bit clean.

By the way, the list of 32/64-bit compatibility issues is much larger than
what you mention.

Hi,

I would like to build xalan for c++ in 64-bit on the HP-UX 11.00 platform,
I'd like to know if I can safely do so in particular, in the source codes
whether:

- int is assumed to be the same size (# of bits) with long
- pointers are casted to int (or vice versa)
- bit shifting in a long assumes a long is 32-bit
- bit masking of long with a 32-bit mask

if any of the above is true, then it'll not be safe for me to build it as
64-bit app.

Thanks.
