Hi,

I was trying to compile judy with vc7  - so far no luck;-( yet)
 ... so what is the official status of a port to mswin32, mingw32
and the many ``non-linux'', ``non-hp''  unixes?


/Christoph


Here are some off-topic thougths about the missing byteswap assembly
macro for the mswin32 platform - either wrap the assembly bswap
instruction in a function

unsigned __int32 bswap32(unsigned __int32 word)
{
    __asm
    {
        mov eax, word
        bswap eax
    }
}


or use a straight assembly macro

#define SET_BSWAP32(x,y)  \
__asm \
{ \
  __asm mov eax, ((y)) \
  __asm bswap eax \
  __asm mov ((x)) , eax \
}


and use the  SET_BSWAP32 instead of  judy's __BSWAP32 macro
(essentielly there are only two places).
