VMS Help LDAP, Introduction, 64-bit Addressing Support, Implementation *Conan The Librarian |
The OpenVMS LDAP library uses 64-bit pointers internally and is capable of dealing with data structures allocated by the caller from 64-bit address space. Applications that use 32-bit pointers will use the 32-bit function entry points in the library. This means they can pass arguments that are based on 32-bit pointers and can assume that any pointers returned by the library will be 32-bit safe. While the mapping performed by LDAP.H is designed to be transparent, there may be occasions where it is useful (for example in debugging) to understand the consequences of having both 32- and 64-bit support in the same library.
