I googled, but I can not find even man manual for snprintf(3) on AIX. I'm frustrated I wasted a few hours to read some PDFs and searching but I can not find any official document about snprintf(3). I feel it's impossible to support such platforms... Except AIX, I believe all platforms supports size_t and %zd because it's very basic C99 feature.

"man 3 snprintf" lists the "z" modifier and says: The z modifier, when applied to a d or i conversion, indicates that the argument is of a signed type equivalent in size to a size_t. I know this is only one data point of many.

[Python-Dev] Collecting stories about beginning contribution
Hi everyone, (FYI, I'm cross-posting this from core-mentorship. If you'd like to reply, please do so there.) Following the recent discussion on core-mentorship about beginning contribution, the difficulties it entails and how to improve the situation, I'd like to start a process of improving the situation. As a first step, I'd like to collect as many stories about beginning to contribute to Python. This includes stories about failures to do so; in fact, those would be most useful! I'm intentionally leaving this very open; I'd like to hear anything people have to tell about their experiences, with as little guidance as possible. Specifically, at this point, I'm not (yet) looking for specific suggestions for how to improve the situation. So, following Guido's call (on core-mentorship) to publicly post such stories, please help us collect as many such accounts as possible! Post your own stories, and more importantly, reach out to others who could share their own stories and ask them to do so! Those who feel that posting publicly would require too much work, or just don't feel comfortable doing so, are invited to write to me personally; I'll use the information anonymously if asked to.

[Python-Dev] Re: Is "%zd" format is portable now?
Hi INADA-san, Is it supported on macOS, FreeBSD, AIX, Android, etc.? My notes on platforms supported by Python: https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/platforms.html For example, xlc C compiler seems to be commonly used on AIX. I don't know how is its C99 support. Can we write an unit test somewhere to ensure that %zd works as expected? Victor Le 01/08/2019 à 14:01, Inada Naoki a écrit : Hi, snprintf() in VC 2010 had not supported "%zd" format.
