Thinking about this more, why should it matter if the type being printed is of
a smaller size than the print statement. This clearly works ok,
drkir...@kestrel:[~] $ cat test2.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf ("%lu\n",2);
}
drkir...@kestrel:[~] $ gcc test2.c
drkir...@kestrel:[~] $ ./a.out
2
The other point I forgot to mention is that the output of the first test
program changes if the code is compiled as 64-bit.
drkir...@kestrel:[~] $ gcc -m64 test.c
drkir...@kestrel:[~] $ ./a.out
9223372036854775808

drkir...@kestrel:[~] $ gcc -m32 test.c
drkir...@kestrel:[~] $ ./a.out
