Supported Data Types - a reference?

[David Hilton]

We recently found a bug in the Quota module (basically, limits much
above a terabyte don't work).

At this point, I suspect that the problem is in the interface code
(http://search.cpan.org/src/TOMZO/Quota-1.6.2/Quota.xs).

I tried substituting long longs for ints in setqlim. Unfortunately
compilation failed. I've searched quite a bit, but I haven't been
able to find a reference for data types in XSubs (although it seems
like most data types from C should work - including 64 bits).

I've never looked at .xs files, and I am wondering if there is a
reference for possible data types, or if anyone has any other insight.

Thanks, David

ExtUtils::MakeMaker comes with a typemap,
it'll be something like
/usr/share/perl/5.8.7/ExtUtils/typemap
xsubpp uses that by default.
