Yes, that's right. > Then the question is: where do we actually need to print/format > mu_off_t? I can't say right now, but I remember there were several places where we did so. Moreover, to my utter perplexion, I have found quite a few places where off_t was assigned to an int (!). These are already fixed in the CVS. > And in the event that we need to print/format is it safe to > downcast it to an off_t? I prefer to cast both mu_off_t and size_t (we used to use %ld for that, too) to uintmax_t and then use gnulib function umaxtostr to produce a string out of it. This is safe in all possible environments.
