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: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/inttypes.h.html
