From f3296cdbb66bef47c553e000df8e60ad45b68a5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Wu Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 00:29:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] proto.h: add type checks for VALS/VALS64/VALS_EXT_PTR/TFS/RVALS These macros were evil as they silently ignored bad casts. Together with an updated checkAPIs.pl, this should reduce the likelihood of errors.
