(and where the return type of htonl() is similarly > defined). Correct. Perhaps "Use %PRIu32 and such to print integers of fixed length"? The only worry I have with this patch is with systems with not-so-ANSI headers; as you noticed, we already have: #ifndef PRIuMAX #define PRIuMAX "llu" #endif in git-compat-util.h, which does include , so PRIu32 and friends could be problematic on these platforms. > @@ -1718,7 +1720,8 @@ static int add_ref_tag(const char *path, const unsigned char *sha1, int flag, vo > static void prepare_pack(int window, int depth) > { > struct object_entry **delta_list; > - uint32_t i, n, nr_deltas; > + uint32_t i, nr_deltas; > + unsigned n; Hmm. Is this change necessary?
