You mean typedef unsigned long flags_t;
However, people will still write:
{ int flags;
save_flags(flags);
because 'int' is faster to type than 'flags_t'. About the only way you're going to stop it dead is to do:
typedef struct { unsigned long val; } flags_t;
and then save_flags(x)/restore_flags(x) use (x).val
