Do we have a preference between using explicitly-sized arguments (e.g. PRInt32) and implicitly-sized arguments (e.g. long) in XPIDL?
It seems to me that |long| is a particularly bad typename, because it means "32-bit integer" in IDL and means "64-bit integer" in C on many platforms. "long" also means 64-bit integer in Java, for what little it's worth. Is there any reason for us not to use PRInt32 instead of |long| in new code? Should reviewers r- patches which use PRInt32 and friends? If so, can we simply disallow PRInt32 and company, so there's no temptation? (I know WebIDL uses |long|, which is a damn shame. But XPIDL is already so different from WebIDL, I'm not sure that consistency with WebIDL is a prime concern here.) -Justin _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
