libdbus On ARM Integer Sizes Question

Thu Mar 14 06:53:45 UTC 2019

I’ve just had a bug report filed against DBussy, my Python wrapper for
libdbus <https://github.com/ldo/dbussy/issues/16>, saying I should use
longlong instead of long for 64-bit integers on ARM.

But I thought the convention for Linux, GCC etc was supposed to be
architecture-independent: “int” is 32 bits, while “long” is 64 on all
hardware architectures. Is this different on ARM?
