Re: [Patch] Basic fixes for 64 bit platforms

Hi!

I have installed bird on my new 64-bit (Opteron-based) router. And it crashed as soon as I tried "show route" command via "birdc". I checked the compilation logs and found out that the bird code makes a Very Bad Assumption (sizeof(int)>=sizeof(void*)) in several places. On AMD64 and several other 64-bit platforms pointers are 64 bit long, but "int" is still 32-bit and not enough to hold a pointer value.

I made a patch (attached) which fixes all the bugs which were detected by the compiler (complaining about integer/pointer size mismatch).

Patch looks good for me. Pavel -- teflon -- maybe it is a trademark, but it should not be.
