Presently, krb5.h defines krb5_int32 and krb5_ui_4 to appropriate
types based on platform. I think that krb5_ui_4 is an ugly type and
is not parallel with krb5_int32. Therefore, I suggest that we add
krb5_uint32 either via typedef or #define (I can never remember if
compilers complain about typedef-equivalent types). Comments?
A typedef for krb5_uint32 seems reasonable. That seems to be in line
with X/Open and GSSAPI definitions of *_uint32. I believe most
compilers don't complain about typedef-equivalent types, with the
exception of GCC and printf/fprintf format strings --- but there GCC
complains about krb5_ui_4 already.
