That's correct, __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is mentioned in a pair of footnotes in C99, both of which say "C++ implementations should define these macros only when __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included." -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
