Dmitry, All, I am really sorry I broke the build and could not fix it quickly. My luck has been really bad lately. I will test builds better next time.
My mail client is broken now, so I cannot respond to your letter (I can only read mail via SF for now). 1) I defined FB_SIZE_T in types_pub because when somebody (Vlad?) ported my code into Firebird he made Trace API use size_t quantities in public interfaces. I used ntrace_size_t (defined as "unsigned int"). This type can become private as soon Trace API uses unsigned int. 2) Re loop counters: In counter-based loops the best and fastest datatype is "int". It is obviously faster than "unsigned int"/ULONG/FB_SIZE_T, whatever. You can use the latter interchangeably, and this is appropriate for current code base. Unfortunately we have to interface with large amounts of code that uses "unsigned" for sizes and signed/unsigned comparisons are not very good thing because of a flaw that got introduced into C standard during ANSI standardization process. Signed gets promoted to unsigned and not vice versa (and how early C compilers did). So using plain "int" while attractive, is not very appropriate.
