Oh, I see. I had to be more careful.
Since chtype can be used for only single byte character, I agree that
both chtype and attr_t can be int.

P.S.
The followings are types used in commercial unices.
These all unices use 32bit wchar_t, and support wchar_t curses API
like addnwstr.

			chtype			attr_t
Solaris 2.6		32bit: unsigned long	(not defined)
Solaris 2.6:/usr/xpg4	32bit: unsigned long	16bit: unsigned short
HP-UX 10.20		32bit: unsinged int	32bit: long
Digital UNIX V4.0E	64bit: unsigned long	64bit: unsigned long
