Usually I find something very objectionable in these C guides, but I like this one, and it&#x27;s hit some of my favourite&#x2F;most hated bugbears. In recent years it&#x27;s nearly driven me mad seeing people use the old types either directly or re-implementing their own equivalent of stdint.h, complete with all sorts of platform switching and other nonsense.<p>We&#x27;ve got these facilities, they&#x27;re not exactly bleeding edge (the clue&#x27;s in the name C99), let&#x27;s use them!
