Hi Johathan,
Do I understand it correctly that the primary motivation for this change in C23 and C++23 was that changing uintmax_t would be an ABI break, which is deemed unacceptable for the major compiler vendors?
Please stop framing opposition to ABI breaks to sound like a plot by evil vendors.
Wait, what? Where in my email above did I do any of that? I asked about what the motivation was for the change in C23 and C++23, and whether that is an issue for compiler vendors. Where did I frame anything as a "plot" and where did I say that vendors are "evil"?
I have literally no horse in this race, I was just trying to understand the motivation, I honestly didn't expect to be met with such aggression.
