I think that for real synonyms like "unsigned" and "unsigned int", or like "long unsigned int" and "unsigned long", they should be the same internally :-) The reason why they are not the same internally today (which is a bug, I think) is that from DWARF, we just get their name as a string. We just get "long unsigned int" for one type and "unsigned long" for the second. There is some extra work to do to figure out that they are the same type, and we haven't done that work yet. And I think we need to do it to fix the issue. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
