    haha. you’re right, size_t isn’t 64-bit – but that depends on the compiler! It’s unsigned long, by default. I think that most compilers interpret ‘long’ to be 32-bit, but that’s not guaranteed. I am surprised you’re not abstracting the data types even more so that there’s never any ambiguity – in case you actually want to start porting your code ;-)

    Yeah I’m now using uint64_t where I need 64bit unsigned integers. I usually use this style of typing but bowed to size_t to get rid of some warnings with the mistaken assumption that it was 64-bit – who knows where I got that thought from.

    Not related to this blog entry, but I entered your site via the amd64 page (www.kelley.ca/amd64/), where you have putty x64 and that some other software I’ve never heard of. Anyways, the link for FileDisk points to a dubious site… Needs cleanup.

    Thanks for the heads up Seppo – it’s all fixed now.

    Congratulations for this program, I was looking for something like this.
    Now one question: Are you evaluating wrong parameters given by the user from the console? If not this probably a bug: when i typped “vhdConvert -help” the aplication did terminate in an unusual way… So well, i’ll give you the job of making a default routine for handling unexpected parameters :) .
    Well for now i do not have anything else to say you, so again thanks for your hard work.
