Description Markus Elfring 2020-05-14 14:56:24 CEST
A change was committed with the subject “Fix type of handle and handle further occurrences of 0” on 2020-05-10.
https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/tumbler/-/commit/e4a18b5fb9d223f17f0e7edee0823c6e00fde110

The chosen data type for the variable “handle” (and related data structures) has got significant influence on the software behaviour.
I would find it helpful to experiment and work also with other data type combinations around the usage of unsigned integers.
Thus I suggest to offer a corresponding parameter for the software build configuration.

* The type of the argument “handle” of the method “Queue” can vary according to a selected version of this programming interface.

* It is probably nice to choose a smaller data range for system tests (or other restricted run time environments).

Sorry I don't see the point of having a configuration just to use different handle data type. 

Closing.

Do you care for system tests and further evaluation of run time characteristics?
