is there a compiler flag to use to use long as UINT32 instead of 64 bit in HP-UX ia64 itanium machin

Hi,

We are trying to port c++ code from 32 bit HP-UX PA-Risk 32 bit machine to HP-UX ia64 64 bit machine. We use long all over the place. Is there a compiler flag that we can use to treat long as UIN32 instead of 64 bit which is default in 64 bit machine? Is there any better way to do it?

Isn't "long" normally _signed_? Why "U"
("UINT32", "UIN32")?

Which compiler are you using?

Well, I guess that that was a mistake.

I did not port it into 64 bit. I compile and link it in 32 bits instead and it works.
