The solution should be along the lines of what Jeff outlined in Message-ID: <20100615110710.GA1682@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> i.e. The only portable way in C to convert between types is by assignment. So you have to do: unsigned long foo; textconv_object(read_from, null_sha1, &buf.buf, &foo); buf.len = foo; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
