Summary of the PR
Currently,
SyscallReturnCode
is limited to system call return values of typei32
. However, not all system calls return 32-bit integer values. For example, theread
system call returns anssize_t
type, which will map to a 64-bit integer on 64-bit systems.This PR updates
SyscallReturnCode
to be a generic type that can contain any signed integer value, so it can be used with other integer types. Since existing code may not specify generic type values, I set the type parameter to default to the existing type ofc_int
to try and preserve compatibility.Requirements
