World will build with 64 bit time_t. There was one fatal error in /usr.sbin/md5/md5.c. I really expected there to be more problems but it looks like most of the programs are type-agnostic. 'dd' converts time to doubles, for example, before it does anything. I'm doing a more complete audit now. There will certainly be a number of programs which truncate to sizeof(long) or sizeof(void *) or sizeof(int). 'make' does all three :-) I expect there to be others, but nothing that we would have to fix immediately (though I will fix them as I come across them). So far it's been amazingly painless. I really don't think this is going to be as big a deal as some people think (or even as big a deal as I thought it would be, I'm already half way there!). The next step for me is to write the syscall roll functions and test a 64 bit time_t kernel with a 32 bit time_t userland. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
