[Development] Qt 6 and standard types

[Bernhard Lindner]

Hi everybody!

Are there any plans for Qt6' API to use standard types like size_t (or special
replacements like qsizetype) for return values and parameters that have platform dependent
width?

Yes. See the thread "Another integer typedef OR how to prepare for 64-bit in
Qt 5"

Are those discussions, once they have resulted in a conclusion/decision, turned into wiki pages or design documents or something?

Archived email threads are not a great way of capturing knowledge, which is not helped by the somewhat archaic search capabilities of the mailman UI.

They should be turned into QUIPs, if relevant.
