So yes, these are actually different (int vs. long).

And this one is quite spectacularly different.


Try putting this before the wacko aliases:

#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wattribute-alias"

and this after:

#pragma GCC diagnostic pop

so that you will get this quite useful warning for all other code.
