should we put stdint.h or inttypes.h into the default includes?
inttypes.h.
ISO C 1999 says that inttypes.h includes stdint.h, so there's no need
to include stdint.h separately in a standard environment. Many
implementations have inttypes.h but not stdint.h (e.g. Solaris 7), but
I don't know of any implementation that has stdint.h but not
inttypes.h. Nor do I know of any free software that includes
stdint.h; stdint.h seems to be a creation of the committee.
Where can the std be found to know who they are?
As far as I know, the 1999 ISO C standard is not available online.
The ISO wants you to pay big bucks to get a paper copy; see
http://www.iso.ch/. There have made noises about selling a cheap
($20?) online copy (at e.g. http://www.ansi.org/), but they're
apparently in no rush.
You can get the latest public draft of the standard (which
unfortunately differs from the final standard in some important
respects) from:
