Bug in sqlite3 affecting ppc64: wrong defines used

(1.1) By Sergey Fedorov (barracuda156) on 2024-01-31 11:31:21 edited from 1.0 [source]

Could someone assist with fixing the following in SQLite please? The existing code has an effect of defining pointer size for Darwin ppc64 to 4 bytes, which is obviously wrong. The issue is that __POWERPC__ is defined both for ppc and ppc64. Instead, the right way will be to use __ppc__:

Likewise, powerpc64 should not be overridden here:

The fix for this has already been entered on trunk and will be in the 3.46.0 release. Perhaps you are disappointed that the fix was not in the 3.45.1 patch release? We strive to keep the changes in patch releases to a minimum, and this change did not seem to be important enough to justify including it in a patch release.

Ah, got it. No issues, we can include a local patch in Macports for now. Thank you!
