Subject: inttypes.h: possible logical error?
Greetings,
In inttypes.h, the first "actual" lines read:
...
#include <features.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#define __NEED_wchar_t
#include <bits/alltypes.h>
...
As it seems, the idea is to have <bits/alltypes.h> processed with
__NEED_wchar_t already defined. However, <bits/alltypes.h> is also
included by <stdint.h>.
In a way this is rather harmless, specifically since <bits/alltypes.h>
can be processed more than once, yet wouldn't it be more logical and/or
consistent to #define __NEED_wchar_t prior to including <stdint.h>?
Given no conflicting considerations, the above code snippet would then read:
...
#define __NEED_wchar_t
#include <features.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <bits/alltypes.h> /* possibly redundant? see stdint.h */
...
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!
Best regards,
Zvi Gilboa
