## #4444 — Kevin Waterson — 2003-09-11T01:38:10+00:00

I have been getting a compile error when compiling with interbase

/home/kevin/php5-200309100330/ext/interbase/interbase.c:328: parse error before "ISC_LONG"
make: *** [ext/interbase/interbase.lo] Error 1

line 328 is..
qd->gds_quad_low = (unsigned ISC_LONG) (res & 0xFFFFFFFF); */

removing the unsigned fixes it for me
qd->gds_quad_low = (ISC_LONG) (res & 0xFFFFFFFF);

using firebird 1.5.0

Kind regards
Kevin

Thanks for the report.
It was only changed recently because IB < 6 doesn't define ISC_ULONG.
Apparently, FB defines ISC_LONG as 'signed long' which doesn't make 
sense if you prepend 'unsigned'.

As it only matter for size, ISC_LONG is just as good.

Changed back in CVS
