Hi,
In types.sgml the typedefs for gsize and gssize are defined as
<!-- ##### TYPEDEF gsize ##### -->
<para>
An unsigned 32-bit integer intended to represent sizes of data structures.
</para>
<!-- ##### TYPEDEF gssize ##### -->
<para>
A signed 32-bit integer intended to represent sizes of data structures.
</para>
This seems a bit confusing because it is the reverse for all other glib
data types. For the sake of consistency shouldn't 'gsize' be a signed
32-bit integer and 'gusize' be an unsigned 32-bit integer.
Just wondering,
Jeff
