Re: [pure-lang-users] 64-bit build-problems

[Eddie R. <er...@bm...>]

I almost have it. I have the following make errors:

g++ -g -Wall `llvm-config --cppflags`   -c -o runtime.o runtime.cc
runtime.cc: In function ‘pure_expr* pure_intval(pure_expr*)’:
runtime.cc:678: error: cast from ‘void*’ to ‘uint32_t’ loses precision
runtime.cc: In function ‘pure_expr* pointer_to_bigint(void*)’:
runtime.cc:728: error: cast from ‘void*’ to ‘uint32_t’ loses precision
runtime.cc:733: error: cast from ‘void*’ to ‘uint32_t’ loses precision
make: *** [runtime.o] Error 1

I change uint32_t to uint64_t in each case and make compiled everything. However, when you run pure you get funny things:

> fact n = n * fact (n-1);

1
