I suggest runtime-variable values depending on a
target-independent macro such as LONG_TYPE_SIZE. Also remember the
various GNU/Linux targets that do not use config/linux.h (alpha,
rs6000,
sparc).
Thanks for both hints, I'll update the patch.
Note that the size is not enough for implementing <stdint.h>, you
need the
actual type as well to get C++ mangling right. So I suggest using
type-name strings as is done for the other standard typedefs
That raises a question: darwin has, for example, in its system headers:
typedef signed char int8_t;
[...]
/* 7.18.1.3 Fastest-width integer types */
typedef int8_t int_fast8_t;
typedef int16_t int_fast16_t;
To do the right thing, do I have to #define INT_FAST8_TYPE in
darwin.h to be "int8_t", or "signed char"? I'd go for the second, but
as I know nothing about C++, I'd like to be sure :)
Thanks,
FX
