Heh. Sometime around '94 I helped Southwestern Bell Telephone with that during the 16 bit to 32 bit transitions of a Mac client.
This means that sometime around the mid 2030's some poor programmers will have to take a break from worrying about Y0x80000000 to get bit by the x86-128 varargs bugs.
- DerekL 14y agoI'm not sure what you mean by the 16-to-32 transition on the Mac. Are you referring to the 68k-to-PowerPC transition?
