Comments on stdint.h are very simple: ...fast... type names are misleading
in exactly the same way as that define. The fact that they are in standard
does not outweight the confusion potential.
I don't find stdint.h in the kernel source (up to 2.6.11). Is this
going to be a new addition?
It would be very helpful to start using the uint(8,16,32,64)_t types
because they are self-evident, a lot more than size_t or, my favorite
wchar_t.
