difference between stdint.h and inttypes.h


What is the difference between stdint.h and inttypes.h?

If none of them is used, uint64_t is not recognized but with either of them it is a defined type.


Solution

  • See the wikipedia article for inttypes.h.

    Use stdint.h for a minimal set of definitions; use inttypes.h if you also need portable support for these in printf, scanf, et al.
