The PRIi64 constants is intended to expand to the OS specific printf format required for a 64 bit integer type. All Win32 runtimes have broken 64-bit integer printf support - their definition of PRIi64 in fact wants a type of 'long' which is only 32bits. libvirt though uses GNULIB which provides a replacement printf impl which works properly, but it does not replace the PRIi64 constant which still refers to the Microsoft impl's requirements. Thus we switch to just using the fixed %llu which we know GNULIB guarentees to support, so does not need "portability" constants. Of course using int64_t with %llu then generates a warning, unless you cast to unsigned long long. So in the end the simple solution is just to say %llu and unsigned long long everywhere, and ignore all this portability stuff which is not in fact portable or reliable Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
