Sorry to followup to my own post. I don't do it often. In article <4ikh3o$2kv@sundog.tiac.net>, Stan Ryckman <stanr@tiac.net> wrote: >(All that's needed for printing whatever_t types would be confirmation >that they are no larger than unsigned long. I think that allowing >them to be larger would break ANSI even if "long long" were an >allowed extension.) I now think this only applies to ptrdiff_t, size_t, and wchar_t. Other things (pid_t, for example, since ANSI has no notion of pid's) might break Posix under such circumstances, but not ANSI, if too large, but I make no pretense about even having read Posix standard. ><now running to edge of ring and tagging experts to jump in> Still applies :) Cheers, Stan. -- Stan Ryckman (stanr@tiac.net) (Apologies for non-responses or late responses to some posts; .newsrc was trashed and I'm trying to get it back to where it was.)
