Subject: printf format macros

Hi all,

This may be a silly question, but why does there seem to be no 64-bit
compatibility in the printf macros in inttypes.h? The relevant section is:

25 #if UINTPTR_MAX == UINT64_MAX
26 #define __PRI64  "l"
27 #else
28 #define __PRI64  "ll"
29 #endif

as compared to Glibc's:

49 # if __WORDSIZE == 64
50 #  define __PRI64_PREFIX    "l"
51 #  define __PRIPTR_PREFIX   "l"
52 # else
53 #  define __PRI64_PREFIX    "ll"
54 #  define __PRIPTR_PREFIX
55 # endif

We use Musl C on 32- and 64-bit platforms and I'm looking for a way to
write printf format strings word-length-independently in an application.
I'm not currently subscribed to the list so please CC me personally when
replying.

Thanks in advance,
Matthew
