-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Samuel Thibault on 4/21/2006 6:17 AM: >> >> The Xint32_t typedef's uses long instead of int: > > That's on purpose: on windows, ints are 16bits. Maybe in Microsoft, but this is the cygwin list, and in cygwin, ints are 32 bits. And until someone ports cygwin to a 64-bit version of Windows, longs are also 32 bits. Using uint32_t isolates you from whatever size the underlying int or long are while guaranteeing 32-bit semantics; and your code is buggy if it depends on the underlying type of uint32_t. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
