Try getting preprocessed source to see where int32_t get defined to
anything else than typedef of int.

That has nothing to do with your problem. Reference to int and reference
to long are two totally unrelated types. The implicit conversions of
C/C++ only apply to values, not references.

No, casting is not an option, really. You have references. What do you
intend to cast x and y to?
