Alex,

Please respond to the list instead of my personal address.


Nevertheless, if MYSQL_TYPE_LONG is the datatype for a table field,
it would always -have- to be the same size, cause different clients can
connect (if not being embedded), wouldn't it?

  Hi Martijn,

  I made an embedded mysql server. The API for the clients to my server =
use the standard mysql client C API. If clients pass bad pointers to the =
server I don't want the server to crash. So the server knows about all =
valid mysql connections. If a bad mysql pointer is passed in, it can =
detect that. So when I save valid pointers when a connection is made I =
like to save it as a MYSQL_TYPE_LONG. The client and the server has to =
run on similar type machines. 64bit client with 64bit server and 32bit =
client with 32bit server, no mismatch. The Long size in a 32bit machine =
is 4 bytes but in a 64bit machine is 8 bytes. So I wanted to avoid =
conditionals for building for a 64bit machine.

    Ehm, wouldn't that like, totally fail if -saved- by a 64bit machine =
and -read- by
    a 32bit machine if that were the case?

    Perhaps you should explain in more detail what you're trying to do?
