Hi,
Out of curiosity, what kinds of errors did you see from this?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27216939/apache-thrift-c-typedef-issue
Not me personally, but I remember having seen a similar question a few weeks
ago. For some reason people seem to like their ints more than i32. It's not
a real issue, because it can be solved quickly. And as someone else pointed
out, i64 -> i32 -> i16 -> byte looks (at least) a bit inconsequent.
The only concern I have is this: doing this for one type will very likely be
just the overture for more. I'm not so sure if we really want to be flooded
with aliases, hence the pandora.
