Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>: The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead. The problem as stated by Tim: > Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks > like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older > versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in > the days of segment+offset addressing)! The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x prepended to it. Notes on the patch: There are two main classes of changes: - in the various repr() functions that print out pointers - debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the patch is large) Closes SourceForge patch #100505.
