JS 1.5 - 64 bit - two direct queries

[Rajesh N]

Hi,

Couple of direct questions related to 64-bit support in JS1.5. Kindly
provide some clarifications:

a) Has anyone ported Spidermonkey JS 1.5 for embedding in 64-bit
environments (x86_64 or ia64)? If yes, is the modified source or build files
available for reference or usage?

b) As my colleague Puneet reported in an earlier mail thread, JS 1.5 code
has many occurrences of pointer<->int32 typecasts and assignments. Wouldn't
such code create issues in 64-bit environments? For example, jsarray.c:

jsarray.c:343: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

jsarray.c:366: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

jsarray.c:366: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

Any pointers towards more insights into this topic would be very helpful.

Thanks

Rajesh

Hi,

I found through an Internet search that there has been a Spidermonkey 1.5
port in FreeBSD distribution for 64-bit platform compatibility.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2006-January/078524.ht

I have the following queries regarding this port:

a) Is this FreeBSD port of JS 1.5 evaluated/verified by Mozilla JS
community?

b) Is the modified source code available for download, build and evaluation
in standalone embeddings? If yes, please provide the URL to the same.

Thanks
Rajesh

I've never even heard of this.

My impression is that nobody in the community would recommend running
SpiderMonkey 1.5.
