Re: Porting to 64 bit Cygwin (was Re: Difference in 32/64-bit curl.)

- DON'T forget to add casts if such Win32 API types are used with
printf(). This:

   printf("Win32 Error=%lu\n", GetLastError());

worked for all i686 and Windows x86_64, but fails now on Cygwin x86_64.
I skipped that because the FAQ entry is not exactly what I wrote in my
mail.  Do you still think this is necessary?

No - these cases would be reported by compiler if -W[error=]format is enabled.

Yes - the knowledge that there is no portable way to pass DWORD, LONG, ... to printf() without a cast might help to write correct code without test builds on all platforms :-)
