Hi,
Hey,
I don't like using PRIdPTR because it took me a while to figure out why it
works (I had to look up that it's a format string for intptr_t, and then check
the NSInteger definition to verify that that is also intptr_t…), and PRIdPTR
introduces a dependency on how NSInteger is defined everywhere you use it.
Personally I always cast NSInteger/CGFloat to a c89 type when I need to print them, since it will
work on any Foundation implementation. Anyway, we just have to make sure we never have (@"foo:
%f", someCGFloat) or (@"foo: %d", someNSInteger)!
Putting an explicit cast sounds like a more readable idea too. It took
me a bit to know what PRIdPTR actually does (well, I grep'd the headers
and discovered that on sparc it is for example "lu" even if it is a
32bit sparc...).
David did already a lot of work which needs to be updated again :(
Any other have comments about this?
Riccardo
