I do. If I have gone to the effort of trying to debug something, why would I 
NOT want to be absolutely clear what I was printing?

Also, the number of times questions have come up on this list with regard to 
correct handling of 64 bit systems make it clear to me that not everyone on 
this list is a portability expert: it therefore seems obvious that we should, 
where we can, make explicit use of the definitions provided to help us avoid 
mistakes.

Thanks, Shaheed

P.S. I am not claiming I am a portability expert...but I am familiar with what 
is probably some of the best portability documentation in the C/C++ world: 
the Oracle C Coding Standards. Though this document and rationale it contains 
is not publicly available, you can see the results as far as integer sizes 
are concerned on any system with the Oracle headers installed (the Oracle 
programming docs give only a cursory explanation).
