* include/hbdefs.h
+ Added new planned types. These are meant to replace previous
proposition with the format 'hb<Type>'. New ones use usual
'HB_<TYPE>' format. Also added HB_TRUE and HB_FALSE.
These new names don't look alien at all in code, so hopefully
we can go into the transition with more courage. As a plus,
some of the HB_TYPE format types are already implemented and
used (HB_WCHAR, HB_LONG, HB_ULONG, etc).
A new important type is HB_SIZE, which I hope will replace
ULONG for string and array indices.
* Changed HB_CHAR to be declared as 'char' instead of 'BYTE'.
(this type was added long ago, but is not yet used anywhere
in code)
* Changed HB_COLOR to be declared as 'int' instead of 'BYTE'.
(this type was added long ago, but is not yet used anywhere
in code, since then we've settled to 'int' to represent
colors. Pbly we should move to use this abstract type instead
of int in code.)
; I left hb<Type> code as of yet, but if there is no objection,
I'd like to remove them.
; Here are the new types:
HB_TRUE
HB_FALSE
HB_BOOL
HB_BYTE
HB_CHAR
HB_ULONG
HB_LONG
HB_UINT
HB_SHORT
HB_USHORT
HB_LONGLONG
HB_ULONGLONG
HB_I8
HB_U8
HB_I16 ( HB_I16_MIN, HB_I16_MAX )
HB_U16 ( HB_U16_MAX )
HB_I32 ( HB_I32_MIN, HB_I32_MAX )
HB_U32 ( HB_U32_MAX )
HB_I64 ( HB_I64_MIN, HB_I64_MAX )
HB_U64 ( HB_U64_MAX )
HB_SCHAR
HB_UCHAR
HB_SIZE
HB_DOUBLE
; QUESTION: Do we really need 3 different flavors to denote char/byte?
HB_BYTE - HB_UCHAR - HB_U8
HB_CHAR - HB_SCHAR - HB_I8
If not, we should decide which ones to keep.
If yes, it would be nice to have some guide when to use which.
