I've never run into it, and have never heard of anyone running into it.= In

might as well not impose obstacles to porting to them if it's easy, whi= ch it is

intmax_t is not the only alternative. We could also use 'long long int&= #39;. That's
also portable to any C99 host, and should be just as well supported as intm= ax_t
is (it has printf formats too). 'long long int' has been around for= longer than
intmax_t has, so in that sense it's a more-conservative choice.I'm not feeling strongly about the exact t= ype, but I'd suggest to wait for Daniel's input before making a fin= al decision.=C2=A0
