Both implementations comply with POSIX - your code is buggy for assuming that int32_t can be converted without casts to either long or int (for that matter, it is theoretically possible that int32_t could be a completely distinct type from either int or long, although I don't know of any such platform). But yes, it might be nice if cygwin used the same type as Linux, as we claim to strive for Linux source compatibility. However, changing it now would be changing the C++ ABI, with far-reaching effects (anything in C++ that involves a mangled name would change what the function name is, which will in turn cause link errors if you mix code pre-change and post-change that expect different function names). On the other hand, gcc 4 may already be causing ABI changes, so maybe this would be appropriate as part of the switch to gcc 4 and cygwin 1.7.0? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
