One question - we don't have a type for the difference of two size_t
objects. That would be int on m32 and long on m64. C has historically
used ptrdiff_t for that, but not all size differences are pointer
differences, so gnu has acknowledged that by defining ssize_t ("signed
size_t" I suppose).
While being in a crunch making some 64-bit changes I defined the type
sizediff_t. I wonder if that's okay as a permanent solution.
Isn't sizediff_t already defined somewhere? I have the following at
start of each source file:
// standard type aliases
alias sizediff_t Ordinal; // index in sequence/range/whatever
alias size_t Cardinal; // element count of a collection
By the way, wouldn't it be time for D builtin names to conform to its
own style guide (as published online)?
