I think we should continue to use uint8_t instead of char as the primary way to represent a raw byte in WebKit. First, it's good to distinguish raw data from C strings at the type system level, and second, the unpredictable signedness of char is actively bad for byte-oriented processing. Another library making a different choice doesn't overcome these reasons.
I agree with that, but I still don't see why should LChar be unsigned since it is a character and not a raw byte. It would be somewhat more convenient when dealing with string literals or traditional C libraries. I you agree I could investigate in the refactoring work.
