Mono: inconsistent usage of uint64 and int64 about godotsteam HOT 3 CLOSED

Godot uses 64-bit types for all scalar types internally. This means that, by default, INT means long in C#. Godot can add metadata to method's when the type is not 64-bit, for example:

• METADATA_INT_IS_INT8 means that the integer type should be sbyte in C#.
• METADATA_INT_IS_UINT8 means that the integer type should be byte in C#.
• METADATA_INT_IS_INT16 means that the integer type should be short in C#.
• METADATA_INT_IS_UINT16 means that the integer type should be ushort in C#.
• METADATA_INT_IS_INT32 means that the integer type should be int in C#.
• METADATA_INT_IS_UINT32 means that the integer type should be uint in C#.
• METADATA_INT_IS_INT64 means that the integer type should be long in C# (this is the default when there's no metadata).
• METADATA_INT_IS_UINT64 means that the integer type should be ulong in C#.

Unfortunately, AFAIK signals don't have a mechanism to register metadata so their parameters must always use the 64-bit types for scalar types (long and double) to ensure they always use the right type.

Thanks, @raulsntos, for dropping an egg of knowledge!

After this post and the one about Rust, I need to dig back through GodotSteam to check the types on everything since this project has been going on for many years.

Ah, another note is that SteamMultiplayerPeer is not officially a GodotSteam project. Unless you were talking about the MultiplayerPeer branch which is but needs patched a lot. I have been going through all that and writing up a list of changes to make. I didn't work on the original / current version.
