K3achas' edit

The C spec only specifies a minimum range for data types like int, so the size of an int really is compiler- and machine-dependent. uint32_t and similar types guarantee a specific size, are easier to understand (it's just as many bits wide as its name states) and, most importantly, my documentation for virtio uses derived types of these. So please, don't use int, long and byte to specify member lengths. If you disagree, feel free to reply. no92 05:07, 12 February 2019 (CST)
