Are there standard macros that a (c99) compliant compiler should support?
I note that in the c99 std that __FILE__ __LINE__ __func__ are
mentioned, but others (that seem to be built in to every compiler I
currently use) like __DATE__ __TIME___ don't appear. Presumably,
__TIME__ etc are just simply 'popular' rather than required?

Look harder. They are both there.

So they are!
Interesting - when given __, acrobat reader, finds 7.2.2 (__FILE__ etc),
but nothing else - however, give it DATE, and it finds 6.10.8 - containing
__DATE__ etc! Weird
in comp.lang.c i read: Are there standard macros that a (c99) compliant compiler should support?
yes. the standard enumerates them.
I note that in the c99 std that __FILE__ __LINE__ __func__ are
mentioned,
__func__ isn't a macro.
but others (that seem to be built in to every compiler I
currently use) like __DATE__ __TIME___ don't appear. Presumably,
__TIME__ etc are just simply 'popular' rather than required?
they are in the list -- see 6.10.8 for the basic list you are after.

Yep; in most cases, a plain text file is better for searching.
I keep the relevant last public draft around in this form just
for this reason. After finding something there, I still can
look into the standard to verify the information from the draft.

Yup, you're right Keith - sometimes I think (realise!) that despite all my
years/education - well - I'm basically pretty dumb ... or, yet another way
to look at that ... I should at least try everything in the book *before* I
ask such stuff. MEMO TO SELF!

*g* Yep, should have mentioned this curious device.
However, even though the standard's index is rather complete,
it is still a technical book and suffers in part from the
useless index syndrome: You often have to know the answer and part
of the wording used in the answer to find the answer when using
index and table of contents. (The only technical book with an
index that could -- with one level of indirection, of course --
up to now answer all my questions is the second edition of the
LaTeX Companion; this is in part because I did not use it much
but in part because the team of authors had a pro making the index.)
If the author or the team writing the book does not aim at an
excellent index from the beginning, then the index often is the
part which suffers when time and money grow short...
Whenever I write some technical text where I am not bound to use
a well-known text "processing " tool out of Redmond, the index
indeed is part of the writing process. This way, I have only to
weed out the unnecessary parts; in addition, I ask friends to
"ask" the text questions and try to answer them in a couple of
minutes using the index.
Cheers

I'm writing a simple image file exporter as part of a school project,

exactly 8 bits wide; char is only guaranteed to be at least 8 bits.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that if CHAR_BIT happens to be,

Hello all,
In C and C++ a primitive data type is represented by a minimum number
of bits as defined by the corresponding standard. For instance an int
is assumed to be at least 16 bits on all platform where in practice
an int is 16 bits on the arcane 16 bit machines and 32 bits on the
most commonly used 32 bit machines.
However, my C# reference says that an int in C# is always 32 bits wide.
It also specifies a specific number of bits...
