Re: Memory debuggers for MacOS 10.3.9

Actually, on Intel nearly all types are the same size as they are on PowerPC.  This is intentional -- if we didn't do it this way migrating to Intel would be a lot more difficult.

The one difference is the C 'bool' type, which is one byte on Intel and four bytes on PowerPC (but usually one byte in CodeWarrior).  Also, struct padding can be different in some cases.

(And then there's the whole endianness thing....)

assert() is your friend. You can also add things like "#if" to check the sizes of things at compile time. This is going to get really interesting on x86, I think.

Thanks.  I found the memory bug that's been plaguing me for some time:
CodeWarrior/CFM does not provide a "uint" type, so our code defines it
in a header file as being 16 bits.  GCC/Mach-O *does* provide it, so
our header file doesn't -- but it's now 32 bits.  Needless to say,
this causes problems when trying to load 16 bits of data from a binary
file.

Thanks,
Mark Wagner
