Right!
I only naively checked intmax_t, assuming max would mean max. :-)
Hmm, for old ABIs gaining a new integer type, I understand why intmax_t
cannot increase. But for a new ABI like here, it is surprising. I guess
they consider (u)intptr_t as not a true integer type but just a kind of
pointer through which they can track memory. That would explain why they
don't like non-pointer arithmetic on that type.
The failures I get in the testsuite are "Invalid address alignment."
during temporary allocation, which is not too surprising.
