[MINC-development] MINC2 API inconsistent data type

[Vladimir S. FONOV]

Hello,

could somebody explain why

int miget_dimension_size(midimhandle_t dimension, unsigned int *size_ptr);

and

int miget_dimension_sizes(const midimhandle_t dimensions[], int
array_length,
                                 unsigned int sizes[]);


- uses unsigned int for dimension size, while

int miget_real_value_hyperslab(mihandle_t volume,
                                      mitype_t buffer_data_type,
                                      const unsigned long start[],
                                      const unsigned long count[],
                                      void *buffer);

- uses unsigned long for indexing hyperslabs ? Which makes a difference on
64bit platform.

maybe it's worth to have uniform datatype describing size of the dimensions
?
