[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] [5] Fix a few 64-bit issues

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

I noticed two problems after looking over the file-modification-time
patches I recently submitted.  The first is that on 32-bit systems, the
mtime or atime that the user passes in would get truncated to 32 bits
on a 32-bit platform (and presumably also on a 64-bit LLP platform, ie
64-bit Windows) due to using C_int_to_num instead of C_int_to_num64.

The other problem is related; size_t is an unsigned type, not a signed
type, and it can be 64-bit even on 32-bit systems, so we should better
use C_int_to_num64 for that type as well.

Attached are patches for this.

Strictly speaking, I suppose we should really add a new C_num_to_size_t
or such, but if we do that, we will need to add it for every stupid
opaque type that C might offer.  In practice, size_t is at most 64 bits
so let's just keep that assumption (for now?).

Cheers,
Peter
