[Bug 1740426] Re: portable printf() spec for size_t, long long, and others

[mdavidsaver via Core-talk <core-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

** Description changed:

  I've been in the habit of using '%lld' and '%zu' to print 'long long'
- and 'size_t' respectively.  However, the windows world needs '%I64d' and
- '%Iu' instead.  It would be nice to have compatibility macros for this.
+ and 'size_t' respectively.
  
  stdint.h/inttypes.h has a convention for this for the standard fixed
  width types.  eg. PRIx32 for 'uint32_t'.  This is used like:
  
  > printf("%"PRIx32"\n", (uint32_t)42);

+ 
+ edit 2022: As Mark points out, Windows supports %zu.  The remaining
+ holdout is vxWorks...
