Yes totally, but FS is a Kernel abstraction, it deals with questions like:
How to keep a directory?
How to keep a file?
How to keep synlinks.
Etc,
These can be implemented in any higher level language or within C without using fixed width numerals if correct abstractions were available. Only device control parts should use fixed with numerals in my opinion.
- infamouscow 5y agoThe problem is syscall interfaces are facilitated through hardware circuits, and as such, you have to work with fixed-width integers. Not only that, but those integers usually have other requirements around alignment and endianness.
