It's better to be "absolute" and explicit in our types. size_t only makes sense for array indexing, nothing else. > > So could you please guide me here on what coding style do we have in > cases like this? > > As I understood from coding style guide you gave, we need to use > 64bit types mostly (size_t for arrays indexing and 32bit types for > compatibility with some apis only) > > Thank you, > Simon > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > Simon > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > From: "William Brown" <william@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > To: "389-devel" <389-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > Sent: Thursday, March 8, 2018 12:42:03 AM > > > > Subject: Use of int types in the code base, > > > > > > > > Hi there, > > > > > > > > http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/development/coding-style.html > > > > #typ > > > > es > > > > > > > > In a few reviews I still see this sometimes. > > > > > > > > It's pretty important that we keep moving our quality standard > > > > higher, > > > > and having known type sizes is important to this.
