int on 32bits

[athaa]

Hello

In V, the type int is an 32bits number on every plateform. What is the point ?

Doing this you risk to suffer bad performance on some architecture (or at least not using some optimization).
If the user really need 32 bits, il will use the type i32/u32.

Il you are afraid of random integeroverflow on some plateforme (tested on a 64 bits CPU, runned on a 32 bits CPU), I guess you could add a compiler option to force the 32bits size int. Or force this behaviour only when running the test.
You could also consider adding type safe_int to fix this issue.

Consistency and predictability.

I got you're point but in most programme,
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
will be one of the main usage of integer (after storage), It' a shame to not optimize this usage case.
But you're right a trade off is necessary. It's all about what's your top priority.

type int should be removed.
There is no different between int and i32, why we need tow way to do the same thing?
