It sounds reasonable to leave size_max in for those who want it, but is it really necessary to make stdint depend on it? All that extra work by configure sounds like overkill too, when stdint_.h has already included <stddef.h> and so the current code from stdint_.h suffices: #ifndef SIZE_MAX /* SIZE_MAX may also be defined in config.h. */ # define SIZE_MAX ((size_t)~(size_t)0) #endif Regards, Derek -- Derek R.
