Hi,
much of what Herbert writes is beside my point
I think that criticizing old rules that cause problems today by causing bigger, slower, limited code which introduces extra maintenance burdens and extra bugs from too tight types and signed-/ unsigned issues is right on topic. Is this not the topic we are talking about here?
[...] to permit ints and longs for everything
Who wants that? If you need fixed-width types you need them... but even then using typedefs or or packing them into classes is often better.
Anyway, I've stated my points. And I have a lot of experience to back them up. With that said I'm getting out of this discussion, I just don't have enough time.
