AMD64 and Qt 4.2.2 issue

Hi,

I have just had a problem compiling Qt's (4.2.2) plugin for firebird
(2.0.0.12748).  At first I though the problem was with Qt, but investigating
the problem I found that it arose from these lines in ibase.h:

#if defined(_LP64) || defined(__LP64__) || defined(__arch64__)
typedef unsigned int    FB_API_HANDLE;
#else
typedef void*           FB_API_HANDLE;
#endif

In Qt's code, it has the following function:

QVariant QIBaseResult::handle() const
{
    return QVariant(qRegisterMetaType<isc_stmt_handle>("isc_stmt_handle"),
d->stmt);
}

which fails because it was expecting "d->stmt" to be a pointer.  To me, it
seems that changing isc_stmt_handle from a pointer to a 'simple' uint
depending on the architecture is a problem, this should be consistant.  I'm
not very fluent in C++, but it seems that the declaration should be:

#if defined(_LP64) || defined(__LP64__) || defined(__arch64__)
typedef unsigned int*    FB_API_HANDLE;
#else
typedef void*           FB_API_HANDLE;
#endif

??  Is this right or am I missing something here?
