(i apologize if i asked this before once upon a time, i'm sort of immersed in digging through some legacy code and it's all starting to merge together.)
in this legacy code, one of the previous authors took it upon himself to redefine some of the basic integral types, such as int8, int16, int32 ... that sort of thing. there doesn't appear to be any benefit to these internally redefined types over the ones in the standard library, so i can't see why it would have been done. is there some reason a programmer might want to do this? rday p.s. and, no, there doesn't appear to be anything subtlely clever about the redefinitions. just plain int and unsigned int of length 8 bits, 16 bits, ... etc. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
