But what IMHO the kernel could do is to make the types compatible, by typedefing to the same fundamental types (i.e., long or long long) that user-space types do.In user-space things are already inconsistent as we have multiple libc implementations. Telling every libc implementation to sync their typedef w/o a WG14 decision will only cause "aggressive discussion" (far more aggressive than this thread, I'd say). If int64_t etc. were defined as builtin types since epoch, things would be a lot easier. But we can't change history.
This would be great. I mean, the fundamental types should be u8, u16, ... and int, long, ... typedefs for these, and not the other way around, if the language was designed today.
Maybe GCC could consider something like that. Cheers, Alex -- Alejandro Colomar <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
