Can you give an example of OS where pid_t, gid_t or uid_t type are longer than the long type? (If I remember correctly, the "identifier" of a Windows process is an addresse, so it has a size of sizeof(void*), whereas long can be smaller on 64 bit Windows. But this issue looks to be specific to UNIX.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2005> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
