GLib 64 bit integer problem revisited

[Jeff Franks <jcf tpg com au>]

Hi,

I asked this one before but the problem is still occuring.

The C++ wrapper classes I've written use functions with the following 
arguments:

void get(gint& value) const;
void get(guint& value) const;
void get(gint64& value) const;
void get(guint64& value) const;

void set(gint value);
void set(guint value);
void set(gint64 value);
void set(guint64 value);

Compilation on a 64 bit machines (ia64 and alpha) produces the following 
error messages:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../.. -Wall -g -O2
-I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0

This is from someone else. I don't have a 64 bit machine so can't test 
this myself but from the error message it looks like on these machines 
the typedefs for gint and  gint64, and guint and guint64 are the same, 
that is "signed long int" and "unsigned long int" respectivley.

Owen previously said he didn't know of any machines using 64 bit integers.

Do these machines use 64 bit integers? Is there a problem with the GLib 
typedefs on these machines. I'm a bit lost and any advice would be 
appreciated.
