Yes, it is. I already checked the code with it. But mainly it does only
search for function names of the C API. I also don't have a 64-bit
machine at hand with decent tool chain. So I won't see compiler warnings
on my local system (SuSE Linux 10.0 i386).

And in some cases I don't know what to do. E.g. when converting to
OpenLDAP's struct berval (handling the length of the berval string).
Hmm, to me it looks ok.

>From OpenLDAP's lber_types.h:

/* LBER lengths (32 bits or larger) */
#define LBER_LEN_T long
[..]
/* lengths */
typedef unsigned LBER_LEN_T ber_len_t;
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------

>From OpenLDAP's lber_types.h:

/* structure for returning a sequence of octet strings + length */
typedef struct berval {
        ber_len_t       bv_len;
        char            *bv_val;
} BerValue;
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------

Ciao, Michael.
