[sword-devel] How do you make the Sword framework work in 64bit mode? (My compiler is giving me hundreds of warnings.)

[Nic Carter]

FWIW:

My decision was to defer merging my changes back into the official bindings. Unfortunately, that was a poor decision, as I continued to work on the bindings, making the future merge even more messy.

My decision was primarily made based on lack of time, as I was hoping to have a chunk of time to work on PS again, like I had a few years ago. Unfortunately, that never eventuated.


Thanks, ybic

Upon at least a simple comparison, there seems to be some similarities, but also some huge differences as well. FileMerge highlighted quite a lot of things. I remember that at least one header file has the same name, but other than that the header seems to have completely different code. It was a surprise.

I've also tried searching the mailing list so I see that some people earlier in the year may be have seen the same warnings (for PocketSword), so I think I better understand why I've seen that some of the libraries were updated(I don't know if all were updated or ?). However, I'm still getting errors and some of it is in the Sword framework. My impression so far of what's going on is that Xcode is telling me is that there are datatypes which are not being converted properly. I think this is happening due to things like "int" and "long" not occupying the same amount of space or something like they use to do in 32 bit and so need a casting in order to be converted properly?

That an unsigned long is converting to an unsigned int. I think that unsigned long occupies 64 bits when run in 64 bit mode, but the int stays in 32 bits when run in 64 bit mode.
