portable engine question

ok so i am writing an engine which will compile on windows and linux.

it seems the input dimension2d<> needs to be a u32 or linux and a s32 on windows.

i was just wondering what the difference between u32 and s32.

u32 is unsigned int, s32 is signed.
but i think its not about windows or linux... some procedures uses u32, some are s32...

weird cause i gotta do this to get it to compile on both

Code: Select all

		#ifdef _MSC_VER
			device =
			createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, core::dimension2d<s32>(800, 600), 32,
				false, false, false, 0);
		#else
			device =
			createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, core::dimension2d<u32>(800, 600), 32,
				false, false, false, 0);
		#endif

The s32 version is Irrlicht 1.5, the u32 version is the SVN/trunk version, i.e. upcoming 1.6. No matter of systems or platforms.
