Can't you safely do this with casting to the (possibly unsigned) long
type? e.g.,
pid_t whatever;
...
printf( "%lu\n", (unsigned long) whatever);
A pain, but hardly a "can't".
Oh, and what's that special ANSI format code for size_t? I can't find
it in 4.9.6.1; was it added after printing or am I just blind?
Cheers,
Stan.
