[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Replace all %t print prefixes with macros

There is "%td", that is exactly that. Just like there is no PRIdLONG since
that is what "%ld" is for. All this is rather inconsistent¹, but there is
nothing much we can do about it.

I do not think that using PRIdPTR will cause any actual problem in any
actual architecture where ffmpeg works. I just wanted to mention the problem
for the record. At worst, it may go in the commit message.


1: but not completely inconsistent; it is true that ptrdiff_t is a typedef
as well as intptr_t or int64_t, but they do not have the same status:
intptr_t and int64_t are services to the programmer, they are never
necessary and no program will ever produce an intptr_t without explicitly
requesting it (it may produce a long long int which happens to be the same
type), while a program will produce a ptrdiff_t each time two pointers are
subtracted, this is a core feature of the language. End of rant.
