Depends on the nature of the application, but in a typical Qt application where GUI plays a major role, I would expect 'int' all over the place, As an example, Qt Creator code has 48715 hits for '\bint\b', 1191 '\bsize_t', most of the latter in 3rd party or test code. > why I wanted a configure time switch to choose the size of qsizetype).

For us it was consistent so far. It is getting a pain only now.
