X11 bindings broken/annoying about odin HOT 3 CLOSED

Just to add some further context to future readers about the segment at the bottom:
It's not so much that it would be preferable for them to match, but that the X11.CreateSimpleWindow binding is wrong.

extern Window XCreateSimpleWindow(
    Display*		/* display */,
    Window		/* parent */,
    int			/* x */,
    int			/* y */,
    unsigned int	/* width */,
    unsigned int	/* height */,
    unsigned int	/* border_width */,
    unsigned long	/* border */,
    unsigned long	/* background */
);

It takes unsigned long for border and background, but the vendor api defines the procedure as

CreateSimpleWindow :: proc(
  display:   ^Display,
  parent:    Window,
  x:         i32,
  y:         i32,
  width:     u32,
  height:    u32,
  bordersz:  u32,
  border:    int,
  bg:        int,
) -> Window ---

int in Odin is the same thing as long on linux.
Similarly uint is the same as unsigned long.

So the issue is that the signedness is wrong?

Yes, it should be uint. It's not the width that's wrong, but its "signedness."
