Subject: egcs-1.0.3a on DEC Alpha / DU4.0b: typedef of ulong in types.h
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 1998 11:36:00 -0000

Is it intended that the size of ulong in egcs-1.0.3a on a DEC Alpha,
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alphaev56-dec-osf4.0b/egcs-2.90.29/include/sys/types.h
line 468, be set to 8 bytes?
    `typedef long unsigned int ulong;'
This declaration raises conflicts with other software, e.g. mico-2.1.0
wants to `typedef unsigned int ulong;'

Who's the culprit, EGCS or MICO? 
Is the name `ulong' reserved in some special way so that apps shouldn't 
attempt to redefine it in the first place?

Thanks,
