I prefer to use standard C types like uint32_t and bool in my APIs where appropriate rather than hobble and uglify my API to avoid using standard types that a small handful of systems don't have. I'd rather include a bit of Autoconf-generated magic to fix broken systems and keep the mainstream code more readable and standard, provided it can be done safely. Which it can if you're careful. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
