clipboardwin compile error for win64

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alex Christensen]

There are a few places in the clipboard utilities code that use std::min with an unsigned int parameter and a size_t parameter, which doesn't cause a problem when compiling for 32-bit windows, but it does cause a problem when compiling for 64-bit windows.  To resolve this issue, I specify the template type as the type the return value is being cast into.

Looks fine to me (and the EWS).  Please revise the ChangeLog notes and I think we are ready to land/

I think you should include your helpful explanation here:

"The clipboard utilities code uses std::min with one unsigned int parameter and one size_t parameter. This causes a problem when compiling for 64-bit windows because the two types are not the same size.  To resolve this issue, we specify the template type as the type the return value is being cast into."

Not only that, but my patch is missing my changes to ClipboardWin.cpp.

Bad news: my computer just died, and I'm just about to change jobs, so it will be a while (~4 months) before I can properly patch this.  If someone else wants to, be my guest.  Sorry.
