See attached patch. This silences 4 warnings from inline.h that are in
every core object file on a Win64 build. This patch obviously doesn't
touch the huge amount of specific to each .obj/.c warnings a Win64 VC
build generates.

0001-silence-warnings-in-inline.h-on-Win64-VC-build.patch

From a4323a0e060775a3e1a7585a51d90d0e801823e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] silence warnings in inline.h on Win64 VC build

c:\p523\src\inline.h(211) : warning C4267: 'function' : conversion from 'size_t'
 to 'I32', possible loss of data
c:\p523\src\inline.h(212) : warning C4267: 'function' : conversion from 'size_t'
 to 'I32', possible loss of data
c:\p523\src\inline.h(421) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from '__int64' to 'I
32', possible loss of data
c:\p523\src\inline.h(423) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from '__int64' to 'I
32', possible loss of data

To fix the warnings at line 211 and 212, change the func to use a signed
ptr length type. Although on x64, a 64b to 64b move instruction is 1 byte
longer than a 32b to 32b move, so this commit adds a couple more bytes of
machine code to the interp, but PVs len and cur are STRLEN, which is 64b
on 64b OS, so something bad would happen if a very large off arg was
passed to Perl_utf8_hop that was trucated to 32b, hence casting to silence
the warning isn't appropriate, instead a bigger type is needed.

S_cx_pushblock, a 8*(2^32), or 32 GB long perl stack malloc block is
unrealistic. A 32 GB mark stack is infinite recursion. Cast away the
warnings.
