6.7.2 Print Format Macros for Signed Integers

Placeholder macros that can be used with the printf family of functions when printing signed integer values.

Attention: The format macros for 64-bit quantities are not supported when using 8-bit AVR, Baseline, or non-enhanced Mid-range PIC devices with MPLAB XC8.

Include

<inttypes.h>

Remarks

The macros in following table expand to character string literals representing conversion specifier characters that can be used with the printf family of functions when printing signed integer values.

Example

See the notes at the beginning of this chapter or section for information on using printf() or scanf() (and other functions reading and writing the stdin or stdout streams) in the example code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <inttypes.h>

int8_t s8 = 23;
int_least32_t l32 = -324;

int main(void)
{
  printf("s8 value: %" PRId8 "\n", s8);
  printf("l32 value: %" PRIiLEAST32 "\n", l32);
}
