Definitely so. I've recently went through intl and fixed a bunch of int/size_t issues, but judging from how many there were, I assume other non-trivial extensions would have such things too. We have lots of places where size_t and int are intermixed - e.g., random try, go to mysqli extension, do grep int *.c | grep len and see that results of spprintf - which returns size_t - are put into int. Now, in this case it's almost 100% not a problem, but illustrates bigger issue of mixing the types, and in some cases it may be a real problem. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
