This makes the types consistent between the linux_raw and libc backends. And, using unsigned types for flags is more idiomatic for Rust.
To avoid the risk of
as
silently casting away bits, introduce newbitcast
andbitflags_bits
macros which convert their argument to the needed integer type while only changing its signedness interpretation.These macros use
transmute
internally, to ensure that the source and destination are the same size, so they also include code to prevent them from being used on non-integer types.
