Hi,
I'm trying to use DSA API and confused a little bit about $subject.
Some type of return value or arguments are defined as size_t
but others are as Size.
Example:
- dsa_area *dsa_create_in_place(void *place, size_t size,
int tranche_id, dsm_segment *segment)
- Size dsa_minimum_size(void)
I'm confused because Size and size_t is virtually equal but
they are mixed in dsa.c. At first I was thinking that there is
some distinguishing convention to use based on some context.
But according to this thread, which seems gone anywhere,
they are same.

Are there still someone trying to this?
As a non-expert developer's opinion, I think mixing of Size and size_t makes difficult to understand source code.
