Re: Pointer to int and vice versa

Mihael:

Another alternative would be to compile your programs to run in PASE, using either the GNU C/C++ compiler (GCC) or the AIX XL/C compiler, that can be installed on i5/OS and runs under PASE. Then, you would just need to run these programs from the PASE shell, QP2SHELL, or via QP2TERM (interactive shell).

I have gone that road (DTAMDL(*LLP64) with another project (which ain't finished yet) and it was aweful. It worked but I had to changed very much of the code which would not be necessary if I could just use the 128 data model.

Using 64bit data model would be my last choice atm.

But thanx.

Mihael:

This is precisely the problem of "storing a pointer in an integer."
(Those macros "cast" a pointer to an integer and vice versa.)

Create your C modules, programs or service programs to run "teraspace
enabled" and use only 64-bit pointers. That way, it is possible to
"cast" an integer to a pointer and vice versa, and to store a pointer in
an integer.

Use the ILE C compiler options DTAMDL(*LLP64) STGMDL(*TERASPACE)
TERASPACE(*YES *TSIFC) on the CRTCMOD or CRTBNDC commands.

Hope that helps,
