Dear porters,
I recently modified common/scummsys.h by adding the new
'SCUMMVM_USE_LONG_INT' flag. This is used to mark ports that do
typedef long int32
instead of
typedef int int32
In each case, I added the following FIXME comment:
// FIXME: Do you really need to use 'long' on this port? Please replace
// this comment with a new comment that states so, and ideally also
// explains the reasons briefly.
The following ports are affected:
Windows (using MSVC), PalmOS, MorphOS, Dreamcast, GP32, Symbian
You may want to resolve those FIXMEs. Documenting such subtle things
helps us to keep your port maintaining. And as always I'd appreciate
your input on how to further improve portability.
Cheers,
Max
