[osg-users] [build] x86_64, cmd line, built OK - but warning in Xcode

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Hartwig,

If I were starting from scratch on a new project I would opt for
different types in certain places in the OSG, for the current version
of the OSG we need to be careful about changes that break ABI, or
provide any risk of errors being made during changes.  Warnings on
certain build platforms might be slightly annoying for some users, but
bugs and build breaks are major stumbling blocks for everyone - the
later is what I use a metric for software quality not cosmetic changes
to quiet benign warnings.

Robert.

Especially in constructors where very often a size is passed size_t can be used without problems (all STL size() methods return size_t types as a default type).
