compile on OSX

[jdobber]

some changes are needed to compile under OSX and other 64-Bit systems

this can't be compiled on 32-Bit anymore!

Maybe conditional compilation must be used here to determine the target platform. See: http://www.d-programming-language.org/version.html

OK, I tried to find a solution and got one.

The version approach would look like this:

version(X86)
{
       int length;
}

version(X86_64)
{
        ulong length;
}

and so on for every Platform. But this can't be the right solution. Regarding the http://www.d-programming-language.org/portability.html guide, the _sizet type should be used for unsigned integral types --- and it works.

Man lernt eben nie aus ;)

just for information, another solution for this would be:

 T bufferTo( T )( char[] buffer )
 {
    char[] tmp;
-   size_t length;

-   length = strlen( cast( char* )buffer );
+   auto length = strlen( cast( char* )buffer );
    tmp.length = length;
...
