Tcl Source Code

The source file unix/tclUnixPipe.c, when compiled with
HP's ANSI C compiler 
with --enable-64bit produces many instances of the error:  
        Cast truncates pointer into 32 bit integer.
These occur on lines 115, 328, 434, 487, 649, 734, 736,
738, 836, 848, 956, 1016, 1064, 1105, 1109, 1115, 1119,
1151, 1155, and 1186.  

(In case the code changes change the line numbers, line
115 is the line:  
       return MakeFile((int)data); 
in proc TclpMakeFile. All the other instances involve
the GetFd macro, and every such instance of GetFd
causes the warning except for 2 that are #ifdef'ed out
of the compilation.)  

The root cause of the warings appears to be that
TclFile is declared (via a typedef) to be a pointer
(specifically of type  (struct TclFile_ *)), but the
code treats it as an int, the macros GetFd and MakeFile
cast it to an int, and eventually the int result is
used as an integer file descriptor to the read and
write UNIX system calls.

I'm not sure where this bug report came from but it seems to
be a word-for-word duplicate of 873897.  Could someone close
it immediately?
