What's to stop someone at 64-bit? What if someone has a bad generator that
suddenly starts outputting 65-bit numbers or bigger?
It could be as stupid a bug as the y2k:
printf("%d/%d/19%d", d.tm_day, d.tm_month + 1, d.tm_year);
Which suddenly started printing "19100".
Similarly, what if someone is using an 80-bit extended precision FP and writes
that? Are we expected to keep the precision?
We also had a discussion recently of someone using '' instead of "" for
quoting strings.
