printf() behavior

[Nick Keighley]

Could you provide a snippet from the C standard sapecifying this?

which part of "most common 64 bit systems" was unclear?

If you want to pretend to be language lawyerly then something like
"the result of casting a pointer to an integer is implementation
defined" would serve (Paraphrased from Appendix F.3.7 of X3.159).
Though a *real* language lawyer would know that a simple counter
example surficed.

However the campaign for 64 bit ints is working to change that
situation.

Working, and, mercifully, failing.

We've got a nice new slogan 'integers for all', making that point
that, with world population about 6 billion, if int is 32 bits some
people will have to do without.

I can't wait to see your next campaign demanding "chars for all".

BTW, nice work on still not understanding the difference between
integers and ints, doctor.
