First the compiler needs to know all the types, in a way consistent with existing headers (including the choice between long and int where they have the same size, etc.) for any system which has such headers or for which a more recent version has such headers, which is what the present discussion is about. Then, once it knows the types (or any subset of them), you can indeed predefine such macros for the types it knows. You can also write a stdint.h, only installed on systems which don't have their own if you so wish, that uses the macros. > __INT8_T__ I'd suggest __INT8_TYPE__ for consistency with the macros such as __SIZE_TYPE__. -- Joseph S.
