tbs

types by size - C header to define primative types by bit-width

Install

With Meson

$ meson build && cd build
$ meson test               # optional, but highly recommended
$ sudo meson install       # install headers

Manually

You can copy the inc/tbs/ directory into the appropriate include location if you insist on not using Meson. pkgconfig files will not be made and tests will not be done.

Types

Generics

uint, ulong typedef'd to unsigned int and unsigned long, respectively. Disabled by defining TBS_NO_GENERICS.

Unsigned Types

u8, u16, u32, u64 (u128 if supported by system, and if TBS_ALLOW_128_BIT_INTS is defined)

Signed Types

i8, i16, i32, i64 (i128 if supported by system, and if TBS_ALLOW_128_BIT_INTS is defined)

Floating-point Types

f32, f64, f80/f128 (float, double, and long double, respectively)

Avoid using f128, and especially f80, if you don't have a specific reason to. Unless you are doing funny bithacks, it's pointless.

fMax, uMax, and iMax will be typedef'd to the widest respective type available

Macros

• TBS_ARCH set to the detected cpu arch (see arch.h)

• TBS_WORDSIZE set to the wordsize, based on TBS_ARCH

• TBS_MAX_WIDTH number of bits in uMax or iMax

Verified Working On:

OS	arch	gcc	clang	g++	clang++
Arch Linux	x86_64	X	X	X	X
Arch Linux	x86_32	X	X	X	X
MacOS 12.4	x86_64	X	X	X	X
Debian 11 on CrOS	x86_64	X	X	X	X

Todo

[ ] add macros for printf sequences. eg. TBS_FMT_uMax would expand to %zu or %lu depending on the actual size. [ ] better documentation; this is the laziest bare minumum shit currently lmfao [ ] much more testing, especially on non-x86 machines
