Also, Paul Hsieh has a portable one with a BSD license: http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/pstdint.h Indeed – coming up with your own stdint.h to use when you have a toolset that doesn’t have it isn’t very hard.I have one that I borrowed and modified from the public domain one in the MinGW toolchain.

Gotta watch those angle brackets when you're writing for the Web. :)Anyway, even though your reference to "stdint.h" got swallowed, I must agree: to me it's by far the most useful feature of the C99 standard. I created my own version of that header for the C compiler I use for my Microchip work (Knudsen), and in my C++ code I use the Boost "boost/cstdint.hpp" library for the C++ compilers that don't already have a stdint.h.It's one less chance for confusion when I switch among the three or four different compilers I use regularly!
