The SETI@home result table is about to run out of 32-bit IDs,
so we need to move to 64-bit result IDs.
This will happen to the workunit table at some point too.
I changed the server C++ code to use the "long" type for all DB IDs
(and to use appropriate conversion codes like %lu).
"long" is 64 bit on 64-bit machines.
For uniformity I did this for all tables,
even ones (like app) that will never get big.
I chose NOT to change the DB schema for now.
The new code will work with 32-bit ID fields in the DB.
As projects approach the 32-bit limit on a table they can change
its ID field, and fields that reference this table, to BIGINT.
This is likely to happen only on the result and workunit tables.
I put functions in html/ops/db_update.php
to change the IDs of these tables.
- add --is_gzip option to sample_bitwise_validator.
If set, all files are treated as gzip archives.
Check their 10-byte header to verify that it's a gzip file,
but ignore it when comparing files.
- validator.cpp: don't error out on unparsed cmdline args,
since we're now using them in sample_bitwise_validator
and sample_substr_validator.
- fix build error on Debian
