Visual C 8.0 reports warnings when building liblber with /Wp64 (64 bit Windows portability warnings). The warnings are actually bugs on Windows 64:

bprint.c(269) : warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'char *' to 'long' bprint.c(270) : warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'char *' to 'long' bprint.c(271) : warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'char *' to 'long' bprint.c(308) : warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'char *' to 'long' bprint.c(309) : warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'char *' to 'long' decode.c(376) : warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'BerVarray' to 'long' decode.c(377) : warning C4312: 'type cast' : conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'berval *' of greater size decode.c(409) : warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'BerVarray' to 'long' decode.c(409) : warning C4312: 'type cast' : conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'BerVarray' of greater size

Warnings in bprint.c are caused by use of %X which is incorrect on Windows 64. Portable %p should be used instead. Problems in decode.c are caused by typecasting a pointer to a long. Unfortunately on Windows 64 a pointer is 64 bits, while "long" is still 32bits, which is obviously problematic. The fix is to use typecase to "char *" instead, as pointer arithmetics will work for it.
