Win32 data types equivalant in Linux

Question

I am trying to convert a C++ library which is using widely DWORD, CString and BYTE in the program, and now I am converting the code from C++ Win32 library to linux program . Als

Answer 1

I would suggest to use uint32_t and uint8_t from for DWORD and BYTE and normal char * or const char * for strings (or the std:string class for C++).

Probably best thought is to use typedefs for existing code:

typedef unsigned char             BYTE;

These can be changed easily.

If you rewrite code use char, int, long were useful and the (u)intX_t types, were you need a defined size.
