           Summary: libiberty pointer size assumptions for Win64 incorrect
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: nightstr...@gmail.com
            Target: x86_64-*-mingw32


md5.h incorrectly assumes the size of a pointer to be a long int.  On Win64,
this isn't the case.  There was discussion and a proposed patch here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-03/msg00638.html

And a ping here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-09/msg01515.html

And then the issue died.

The proposed patch does an ifdef on _WIN64.  There may be a more elegant
solution, such as using a configure test to see if uintptr_t is defined, and to
use that.  I really don't know.  I just don't want the issue to slip away
untouched.

Also note that to the best of my knowledge, it appears that the issue has not
yet been addressed in the year and two months since that last ping.  If it has,
then I apologize for the bug report.

One more thing.  I couldn't find libiberty in the list of components to write
the bug against, so I wrote it against "other".
