Typedef Documentation

◆ qgssize

typedef unsigned long long qgssize

Qgssize is used instead of size_t, because size_t is stdlib type, unknown by SIP, and it would be hard to define size_t correctly in SIP.

Currently used "unsigned long long" was introduced in C++11 (2011) but it was supported already before C++11 on common platforms. "unsigned long long int" gives syntax error in SIP. KEEP IN SYNC WITH qgssize defined in SIP!
