a question regarding <sys/shm.h>

Hi,

In a recent attempt in trying to clean up some compiler warnings in a GNUstep related project i came upon a case where the FreeBSD datatypes seemed to disagree with the Linux ones. Though this in itself is not unusual i do wonder if in this case the Linux definition isn't the more proper one.

The definition in question is inside <sys/shm.h> and involves
struct shmid_ds.shm_segsz which seems to be defined as "int" whereas Linux defines this as "size_t".

I understand these definitions are usually platform dependent but am wondering if Linux's size_t wouldn't be a more proper type for this field .. and if it would make sense to perhaps synchronize our datatypes used here with those used by Linux?


With kind regards,
