    C99 formats

    Anyone here ever uses the c99 format specifiers?

    Code:
    #define PRIdFAST8	"d"
    #define PRIdFAST16 "d"
    #define PRIdFAST32 "d"
    #define PRIdFAST64 "lld"
    They seem so....bloated

    Where did you get all those PRIdFAST macros from?
    I don't recognise them as being C99.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    It appears to be in <inttypes.h>

    Yes, I do.

    Yes, they are. Such is the price you pay in C99 for a solid guarantee about the type.
    My best code is written with the delete key.
