Re: [EXTERNAL]: Re: Why int32_t is long int on 32 Bit Intel?

Actually, it is showing you are using the “wrong” format. If you are printing an int32_t, you should be using the format out of inttypes.h to be correct, even if it is “ugly”.

Or, always use %ld and—safely and without penalty—cast the argument to long. But I dislike cluttering my code with casts that might hide future defects. (Let's not have an argument about using printf at all, as this is far beyond the scope of the original question.)
