x86_64 platform : addresses type
Several addresses are actually on 32 bits, such as in
typedef struct {
u32 flags;
u32 mem_lower;
u32 mem_upper;
u32 boot_device;
u32 cmdline;
u32 mods_count;
u32 mods_addr;
union {
aout_symbol_table_t aout_sym;
elf_section_header_table_t elf_sec;
} u;
u32 mmap_length;
u32 mmap_addr;
} multiboot_info_t
However, on x86_64 using gcc, addresses as well as unsigned long are 64
bits long.
It seems that luckily mmap_addr is below 2*32-1, making the u32 type
acceptable
so far (for instance in function __...
