B.10 Using OpenVMS Alpha 64-Bit Addressing

On OpenVMS Alpha, DECthreads supports the use of 64-bit addressing only in the POSIX 1003.1c-1995 standard interface. When compiling with CC/POINTER_SIZE=LONG, the function name pthread_ join returns a 64-bit "void*" for the result value. You can also use pthread_join64 or pthread_join32 to specify the desired return size. Note that no other functions have special 64-bit versions, since the OpenVMS Alpha calling standard always supports 64-bit arguments and return values.
