Not a part of API?

Please explain why is inttypes.h not a part of API?

This article is currently incorrect. Those int types are defined in stdint.h. --hdante 21:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's correct that these types are defined in stdint.h, but they're also defined in inttypes.h. The standard says this:

    The header <inttypes.h> includes the header <stdint.h> and extends it with
    additional facilities provided by hosted implementations.

The article is incomplete. inttypes.h declares many macros and functions that it does not mention. Pfaffben 23:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

inttypes.h includes stdint.h - it does not define the integral types itself. From the source:

The <inttypes.h> header shall include the <stdint.h> header.
The <inttypes.h> header shall define at least the following type:
imaxdiv_t

Information about stdint.h should go in the article for that header, not here.
