Corinna,
I can't really find any history on inttypes.h, but I noticed that you
were the one who committed it to cvs. I would like to know how you
derived the values for the macros. One of the widechar functions I've
been working on uses the handy function, strtoimax... so subsequently I
did a port for it and the other inttypes it as well. During this
process, I noticed that there seems to be a disconnect between how
you've defined some of the 32bit macros and how i386 glibc/mingw/bsd
have defined them. For example, looking at int32_t(PRId32):
The bsd's: "d"
Glibc: "d"
MingW: "d"
Cygwin: "ld"
Am I missing something here? I searched the archives, w/o any luck.
But before I submit an rfc to the main list (not to have it go in, just
to get people to test), I need to know if the macros are accurate.
Being that these functions are heavily asm dependant, I assume that
winsup/cygwin is the most appropriate place to dump 'em?
I don't understand the problem. "ld" is as correct as "d" for 32 bit
int types. I didn't use any foreign source to create the macros but
only the description in SUSv3:
