$.2 idea:
Add two macros that allows you to write:
size_t len;
printf ("len: %" PRIz "\n", PRIzCAST(len));
If the system printf supports %zu, or if the gnulib printf module that
supports %zu is enabled, the macros would be defined as:
#define PRIz "zu"
#define PRIzCAST(x) (x)
Otherwise, the macros would be defined as:
#define PRIz "lu"
#define PRIzCAST(x) ((unsigned long)x)
Thoughts?
I'm not sure this is a good idea, the code is slightly unreadable. On
the other hand, the current code is slightly unreadable already:
printf ("len: %lu\n", (unsigned long) len);
