Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 11.04
reference:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/inttypes.h.html
inttypes.h defines macros for fixed integer types. The ones for 8- and
16-bit types are currently the same as the 32-bit types, which pretty
much makes them useless.
PRIx16 is x I suggest it should be hx
PRIx8 is x I suggest it should be hhx
Otherwise, only by excruciatingly correct typecasting in the printf can you get
the correct output for something like
int16_t this = -1;
printf("%" PRIx16 "\n", this);
As it stands, it will print 8 hex digits. It makes more sense for it to
print 4.
