> Isn't that 64bit on 32bit cpus as well? it does not seems so, else the bug would be reproducible on 32bits machines as well. I think gsize is the size_t from classical C, which is 32bits on 32bits CPU (aka an int) and 64bits on 64bits CPU (aka a long). the problem is that they use a glib (gtk ?) API to read files, that has a third argument beeing an out argument for the size of the file. I don't see where my patch is incorrect, and gcc didn't complained about comparisons loosing precision or such. I think upstream uses 32bits devel machines, and never saw the problem of mixing g(u)ints with gsizes, which is definitely the error. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
