Do note that, pedantically speaking, int32_t is not required to be 32 bits long, just long enough to store any value which could be stored in a 32 bit integer. Ie, it is perfectly acceptable for an arch to use a 64 bit integer for int32_t. Or a 48 bit integer. Or 36. Plus, the storage can have additional padding bits beyond the bits which can be seen from C/C++/etc. The least typedefs in <stdint.h> are more likely to be exactly the specified width -- modulus packing bits -- on weird arch's. Probably not too relevant for webkit, unless someone wants to use a dsp as the primary processor for their portable, I suppose. Or if someone wants their compute nodes to be configured akin to Cray's alpha-based systems (where everything -- even char -- was 64 bits). -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
