[New-bugs-announce] [issue9782] _multiprocessing.c warnings under 64-bit Windows

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

There are various warnings when compiling the _multiprocessing extension in 64-bit mode under Windows. Many seem related to the fact that read() and friends under Windows take "int" size arguments rather than "size_t".
