Why grub_uint32_t and not uint32_t? X-BeenThere: grub-devel@gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: The development of GRUB 2 List-Id: The development of GRUB 2 List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 15:58:06 -0000 I was wondering why it is necessary to use the integral types with the "grub_" prefix instead of the standard uint32_t, int16_t, etc.? It makes the most simple code much more verbose when we have to write "grub_" so many times, and this seems like a case where it is not needed. Colin
