The Question is:
In Compaq C 6.5-001 I want to print an unsigned __int64 value using printf.
Using format specifier %lu I get a compiler warning '%CC-W-OUTTYPELEN, In this
statement, this argument to fprintf is of "an unsigned integer 64" type and is
not appropriate for the conversion specifier "%lu". The value might be
truncated or formatted in
an unintended manner.' In Compaq C 6.0-001 there is no warning message but
values larger than 32 bits are truncated.
How can I format and print a number between 4294967296 and 18446744073709551615?
The Answer is :
For an __int64 (long long) value, the proper conversion specification
flags are 'll' and 'L', and not 'l'. Also see 'u' for unsigned values.
This material is documented in the C RTL Reference Manual, in the
section on available conversion specifiers. (If you have not had the
opportunity to read the C documentation in recent times, please do make
the effort -- there have been substantial changes to the manuals that
correspond to the enhancements made to the recent compiler releases.)
