[LLVMdev] misc. patches

[Jeff Cohen]

VS has a 64-bit portability mode, where it will complain when it sees 
non-portable code.  I haven't tried it yet on LLVM, but in my experience 
it will generate a *lot* of warnings.  Every time a size_t or ptrdiff_t 
is assigned to an int or even a long it will complain (Microsoft defines 
long as 32-bits, even in win64).  On the other hand, gcc defines long as 
64-bits on 64-bit Unix (so what does it do on cygwin or mingw?).  The 
portability warnings are still useful, but it does mean that "long" must 
be banished from the code.
