It is true that unsigned has all the disadvantages of "int" (it may be smaller than the size of the object" and all the disadvantages of "size_t" (it doesn't optimize as well because the compiler cannot exploit undefined behavior). I wouldn't call it harmful, but it feels like the worst of both worlds. Paolo
