James,

Your addition of the HAVE_ATOLL test lets me compile on the alpha system.
In testing I found another problem with the long long usage there though,
in that printf("%lld",ll); will just print "ld", ie the format string
does not allow the %lld form, rather just printf("%ld",ll); will work and
print the 64 bit int. As %lld is used twice in convert.c, I guess they both
need the conditional compilation too.

I also tried to configure those latest changes on x86 Linux, and found that
the #undef HAVE_ATOLL is commented out in config.h, although not in
config.h.in,
and so convert.c tries to use your static atoll() and fails to compile due
to
conflicting types. Don't know why, is it just me ?

At present on the alpha all the unit tests pass except for 4, which returns
TDS_FAIL
on tds_process_result_tokens()

Oh, and your link
http://home.schemamania.org/freetds/cvs/freetds/src/dblib/unittests/convert_
acid.c
returns FORBIDDEN when I try to access it.

David

Glad to make your acquaintance.  

I just committed a change to configure.in that checks for 64-bit ints and
uses atol() if atoll() is not provided.  Please let me know if it works
for you.  The configure script should fail to define HAVE_ATOLL on your
system, causing FreeTDS to rely on atol().  

Because the NetBSD system I happen to test with is a few years old, it
lacks both 64-bit ints and atoll().  I'm experimenting with it to see if I
can use it anyway, subject to the limitations imposed by the missing
features.  Partly for that reason, the configure script will *not* fail if
64-bit integers are unsupported; it is only a warning.  I want to see if
FreeTDS can be made to live within such limitations.  Ideally, it would
use 32-bit ints if 64 bit aren't available, and call the error handler in
situations where the width was insufficient.  

At the moment, however, char<->money is quite broken for me, see next
message.  

Regards,
