When porting to an arch where these are wrong we'd just move them to dbus-arch-deps.h and determine them at configure time, as dbus_int64_t already is. > It also introduces its own types, while there are perfectly well defined > and standardised types that do exactly what dbus needs in stdint.h > (int16_t, uint16_t, etc.) and stdbool.h (bool).

Programmers can assume that uint16_t is the same as dbus_uint16_t though. Havoc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
