- detrino 11y agosize_t's raison d'etre is portability, you should be using it for things that are indexes/sizes into memory. FWIW, I don't have the karma to downvote.
- dragonwriter 11y agoExpressing disagreement is expressly an acceptable basis for downvoting, and given the more general purpose of voting (expressing whether or not a contribution is valuable), while not all disagreement involves perception that the thing disagreed with isn't valuable, that something is inaccurate or wrong certainly can be a reason to conclude that is not a valuable contribution to a discussion.
