In addition to the IDL primitive type mappings defined in the table, implementations
provide a set of convenient typedefs that map the listed defined types into types that
explicitly name amounts of storage. These are defined in IDL as follows:
typedef unsigned small unsigned8; /* positive 8-bit integer */
typedef unsigned short unsigned16; /* positive 16-bit integer */
typedef unsigned long unsigned32; /* positive 32-bit integer */
typedef small signed8; /* signed 8-bit integer */
typedef short signed16; /* signed 16-bit integer */
typedef long signed32; /* signed 32-bit integer */
typedef unsigned32 boolean32; /* a 32-bit boolean */
They are defined in C as follows:
typedef idl_usmall_int unsigned8;
typedef idl_ushort_int unsigned16;
typedef idl_ulong_int unsigned32;
typedef idl_small_int signed8;
typedef idl_short_int signed16;
typedef idl_long_int signed32;
typedef unsigned32 boolean32;
