I would prefer keep it as is, or at worse case rename into "zend_uint32" or "uint32".

Same for size_t. It is mostly contained in the engine, no other impact and avoid yet another type definition for existing standard type (we have php_stdint.h to make them always available). > > We never had zend_size_t before and used size_t. > but we had zend_uint for ages and changing it to new name in thousand places won't make a lot of sense. > If you like to make it always be a 32-bit number, just change the definition. > If you are going to rename zend_uint, should we expect renaming of all the similar zend_* types from zend_types.h? > > typedef unsigned char zend_bool; > typedef unsigned char zend_uchar; > typedef unsigned int zend_uint; > typedef unsigned long zend_ulong; > typedef unsigned short zend_ushort;
That would be a very good thing IMHO. These types exist because of the lack of stdint. Now that we have it it could be easier to use them when we can. Nikita?
