Hi otheus,
Thanx for your reply. Carefully looking at the code gave me idea that making that variable as unsigned long is harmless. So I made it as unsigned long.
I am facing another issue for which I need your help. Could you give me any idea about some compiler flags which give 64 bit porting specific warnings for LInux? For example in Solaris if I provide "CC +w2 -xarch=v9" it gives the 64 bit porting warnings, but I couldn't find any similar things for Linux. I am using "gcc" to build the project and the above mentioned flag is not working with this.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Saurabh

arch_prctl
ARCH_PRCTL(2) Linux Programmer's Manual ARCH_PRCTL(2)
NAME
arch_prctl - set architecture-specific thread state
SYNOPSIS
#include <asm/prctl.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
int arch_prctl(int code, unsigned long addr);
int arch_prctl(int code, unsigned long *addr);
DESCRIPTION
The arch_prctl() function sets architecture-specific process or thread state. code selects a subfunction and passes argument addr to it;
addr is interpreted as either an unsigned long for the "set" operations, or as an unsigned long *, for the "get" operations.
Sub functions for x86-64 are:
ARCH_SET_FS
Set the 64-bit base for the FS register to addr.
ARCH_GET_FS
Return the 64-bit base value for the FS register of the current thread in the unsigned long pointed to by addr.
ARCH_SET_GS
Set the 64-bit base for the GS register to addr.
ARCH_GET_GS
Return the 64-bit base value for the GS register of the current thread in the unsigned long pointed to by addr.
RETURN VALUE
On success, arch_prctl() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT addr points to an unmapped address or is outside the process address space.
EINVAL code is not a valid subcommand.
EPERM addr is outside the process address space.
CONFORMING TO
arch_prctl() is a Linux/x86-64 extension and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
NOTES
arch_prctl() is only supported on Linux/x86-64 for 64-bit programs currently.
The 64-bit base changes when a new 32-bit segment selector is loaded.
ARCH_SET_GS is disabled in some kernels.
Context switches for 64-bit segment bases are rather expensive. It may be a faster alternative to set a 32-bit base using a segment selec-
tor by setting up an LDT with modify_ldt(2) or using the set_thread_area(2) system call in kernel 2.5 or later. arch_prctl() is only
needed when you want to set bases that are larger than 4GB. Memory in the first 2GB of address space can be allocated by using mmap(2)
with the MAP_32BIT flag.
As of version 2.7, glibc provides no prototype for arch_prctl(). You have to declare it yourself for now. This may be fixed in future
glibc versions.
FS may be already used by the threading library.
