等价于gnu中来自Windows stdint.h的u_int16_t？

Question

So far I'm assuming that u_int16_t is a windows type somewhere inside of an MSVS header file called stdint.h. I'm using GNU g++ for a compiler (actually codeblocks with mingw) and I wondered if typedef unsigned short uint_least16_t; (inside stdint.h for mingw) is the equivalent or what could I do to include this type?

This question is actually in relation to compiling the google sparsehash project files meant for MSVS but I'm using codeblocks. This was the error it gave me (btw, the error repeated many times over).

Answer 1

If you haven't any header which defines u_int16_t . Do it yourself :

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stddef.h>

typedef uint16_t u_int16_t;
typedef size_t size_type;

Answer 2

I'm not sure how u_int16_t is specified; as you have noticed, it's non standard. What you should use depends on what you want:

uint16_t        //  Exactly 16 bits, only present if the hardware
                //  has such a type.
uint_least16_t  //  The smallest type which has at least 16 bits.
uint_fast16_t   //  The fastest type which has at least 16 bits.

On most modern machines, all three will be a typedef to the same type, normally unsigned short , and I regularly use uint16_t in "portable" code, since it's the easiest to write, and the chance of my encountering a machine where it isn't defined is very, very slim. (The only modern machines where it won't be defined are the Unisys mainframes and some embedded processors, with 32 bit bytes.)

With regards to size_type , this is probably size_t . In <stddef.h> or <cstddef> (where it is std::size_t ), rather than in <stdint.h> .

Answer 3

You should run the ./configure script. Unfortunately that can be a real pain on Windows, so the project has the headers that ./configure would produce for VC++ in the src/windows directory. That's why u_int16_t works for VC++ - it's not in any of the VC++ headers, but the config.h and sparseconfig.h files take care of it.

Unfortunately, the VC++ configuration doesn't work well for MinGW. Ideally you'd be able to run ./configure for MinGW, but as I mentioned that can be difficult on Windows. Here's a config.h file that enabled me to compile the project's simple_test.cc program. Corresponding changes need to be made to spareseconfig.h . Also, different tweaks may be necessary for larger uses of the project or if you use a different version of MinGW (for example, MinGW 4.7+ should probably use <unordered_map> instead of <ext/hash_map> ):
