Hi All,

I am compiling libcurl 7.16.0 with MSVC 6.0. I don't use the provided
Visual Studio Makefiles but my own ones based on Jam.
The compiler is required to treat warnings as errors, see the following
lines:

transfer.c(1147) : error C2220: warning treated as error - no object
file generated
transfer.c(1147) : warning C4244: 'function' : conversion from '__int64
' to 'unsigned int ', possible loss of data

Code-Snipped from transfer.c(1147):
   curl_off_t excess = k->bytecount + ((curl_off_t) nread) - k->maxdownload;
   .....
   Curl_read_rewind(conn, excess);

Curl_read_rewind is defines as follows in file sendf.h:
   void Curl_read_rewind(struct connectdata *conn, size_t extraBytesRead);

I use an unmodified version of config-win32.h and in curl\curl.h

curl_off_t is defined as
   typedef signed __int64 curl_off_t;

Is this a libcurl problem or do I have to make additional configuration
setting in my header files? What can I do to
work around the problem, I have to fix the warning, otherwise I cannot
compile the code.

But I think there is a general problem with the signature of
Curl_read_rewind. On 32-bit platforms size_t is of type 'unsigned
integer' and cannot hold the data from an '__int64'.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

Stefan
