Re: GLib and 64-bit Windows

Also, there are a lot of assumptions that the return value of strlen is 
an int... Obviously, the chance of a string exceeding the 32-bit 
boundary is fairly rare, and you certainly wouldn't want to call strlen 
on a string that big, but the manpage says what it says, and strlen 
returns a size_t.

It would be A Bad Thing to change the function declarations that cause 
this I assume, as it would break ABI compatibility. However, for 
function-local variables that make this mistake, should it be fine to 
fix this? Or is it more appropriate to cast strlen to an int?
