I think (am I wrong?) to generalize that the intention for both Win32 and Win64 is to have _beginthread return an unsigned pointer-sized integer: hence uintptr_t.
This would eliminate the #ifdef but would require a typedef for uintptr_t on Win32. This can be done in PC/config.h (I already did this for intptr_t, because I needed *that* elsewhere.) Does this also need to be generalized to typedef uintptr_t whereever it is not defined, i.e. in the autoconf files.
I can look at this this weekend, if that is soon enough.
I suggest checking in the #ifdef as a stopgap measure, if you promise to come up with the right thing (whatever that is) in time for 1.6 final. Should I go ahead and check it in? </F>
