[PATCH] PR 78534 Change character length from int to size_t

[Andre Vehreschild]

Hi all,

so I have learned that proposing to write "speaking code" is not very well
taken.

Anyway, there is a patch (in two parts) hanging about changing the character
length from int to size_t. It looks ok to me, but I do not have the privilege
to ok it. Furthermore am I still not convinced that we can't do anything about
the failing testcase allocate_deferred_char_scalar_1. So how do we proceed?
