Thread: 'long long' type and printf() (on AIX 5.3)

I am recently start in new company, they works on AIX v5.3 UNIX.
Trying some C-coding I have found that I am not able to print the 'long long int' type variables.
I have tried '%ll %L %LL %q' - no one is printing the #LL

Surprizingly, I can not access C-printf manual here, nor to find it on internet (related to AIX)

Most interesting that the #LL is accepted and processed well, but no way to print it

Maybe I shoud specify for 'cc', some options?
Maybe some specific include should be done with redefined or advansed 'printf()'?

Here is an example of my tryes:

Code:

int main()
{
   int  p1, p2, n1,n2,d1,d2;
   long long int lln=987654321000LL,
                 lld=876543210000LL, llr;
   llr=lln-lld;
   p1=llr/100000; p2=llr%p1;
   n1=lln/100000; n2=lln%n1;
   d1=lld/100000; d2=lld%d1;
   printf("The result of calculating #LL: (%d%d) - (%d%d) = (%d%d)\n",
           (int)(lln/10000LL), 1000, (int)(lld/100000LL), 10000, p1,p2 );
   printf("another try to print: %d,%05d; %d,%05d; %d,%05d\n",p1,p2,n1,n2,d1,d2);
   
   printf("Trying to print 'long long' type"
          "\n - by L:  %L"
          "\n - by LL: %LL"
          "\n - by q:  %q"
          "\n - by ll: %ll"
          "\n - by dll: %dll"
          "\n - by d:  %d"
          "\n - bi i:  %i\n", llr+1LL, llr+2LL, llr+3LL,llr+4LL, llr+5LL,llr+6LL,llr+7LL);
    printf("binary for -558038695: %s\n",b_prn(-558038695,sizeof(int)) );
          
  return 0;
}

/* results: 
The result of calculating #LL: (987654321000) - (876543210000) = (111111111000)
another try to print: 1111111,11000; 9876543,21000; 8765432,10000

So, it shows that the 'long long' variables processed well, but to present it to printf() I do not know a specifier.

Code:

#include <inttypes.h>

See if the above header works.

If yes, then use the correct MACRO to print.

<inttypes.h>

This seems to be the printf() documentation for AIX. It looks like you have your printf specifier backwards, it should be "%lld" not "%dll".
