The problem I always find is that you have a fantastic choice between
uint8, uint8_t, UINT8, u_int8, UInt8, U8, guint8, jsuint8 or whatever
name the writers of the libraries you're using have come up with this
week and they're all declared in differently-named header files or
cause compiler errors because one header file typedefs while another
#defines the same symbol . We use several third-party libraries in
our app and you can find all of the above, and more, in them. If
you're writing cross-platform software you'll also get the wars
between Mac and Windows naming conventions. And don't get me started
on how people define 64-bit ints....
