scan: which format for a long long int

[__frank__]

Which format I have to use in scanf,
to format a long long int (64bits int
__int64 in MS VC++).
Thanks in advance

"%lld", if your library supports it. It's required by C99, but of
course there was long long type in C90.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

"%lld" or "%lli".

Note: The long long integer types are in the language since C99;
AFAIK, MS VC will not fully support C99 even in their 2005 Studio.
At least in VC++6, the semantics of the 64 bit types were partially
broken.
If the above format does not work, you have a 64 bit type as an
implementation specific extension; the format should be specified
in the online help. Otherwise, you may have to ask in a newsgroup
or forum where your implementation is topical.

BTW: If you try to keep your code conforming, you can #define
the appropriate integer conversion format strings and work with
them like that:

#if (defined __STDC_VERSION_ _) && __STDC_VERSION_ _ >= 199901L
# define MY_SLLFORMAT "%lld"
# define MY_ULLFORMAT "%llu"
#elif ...... /* ask for your implementation */
...../* Define your implementation specific MY_SLLFORMAT etc here */
#else
# error Cannot define an appropriate 64 bit integer format
#end

.....
printf("Tit (" MY_SLLFORMAT ") for tat\n", mylonglongvar);
Cheers

Whoops! Thanks.

Usually when defining a macro for a format specifier you don't want
to include the % sign, so as to allow the user to include field
widths and so on

for example

#define PRIdLLONG "lld"
#define PRIuLLONG "llu"

printf("Here's an example with a field width: %10"PRIdLLONG"\ n", var);
[i don't know if the entire PRI*/SCN* set of identifiers are
reserved if inttypes.h is included - however if his system has
inttypes.h he should probably be using the types defined therein
instead]

In MS VC++, '__int64' read by this way
__int64 i;
scanf("%I64d", &i);

And *only* (as far as I know) in MS VC++. "%I64d" is non-standard and
non-portable. Writing non-portable code is sometimes necessary, of
course.

Thank you -- I did not think of this at that moment

scanf("%I64d", &i);

And *only* (as far as I know) in MS VC++. "%I64d" is non-standard and
non-portable. Writing non-portable code is sometimes necessary, of
course.

It is also supported by WATCOM C/C++, Borland C, and the Alpha
compiler. This, presumably, is why C99 included stdint.h, and
inttypes.h which includes abstractions for all these things.

The only problem, of course, is that nobody seriously supports C99. So
as a stop gap, you can use pstdint.h available here:

http://www.pobox.com/~qed/pstdint.h

This file can be used by older compilers that don't have even partial
support for C99, and possible don't support 64 bit integers at all (you
can test for this with a #ifdef INT64_MAX in your code.)

This file includes a slightly different abstraction for print modifiers
than inttypes.h -> The macro PRINTF_INT64_MO DIFIER is used to specify
the 64bit prefix for the integer formats. So:

"%" PRINTF_INT64_MO DIFIER "d"

is (usually) the same as "%lld" or "%I64d" depending on which compiler
you are using.
