No.  Way back when, in <10tnmk6$3os5b$1@dont-email.me>, you
wrote this, in the context of looking at the generated C output
from the FreeBasic compiler:

|(You can also see from this that /nobody/ likes stdint.h types,
|even though standardised from C99 which also introduced 'long
|long' used here. That is another bugbear. Oh, I forgot, my
|criticism is not not valid.)

The whining aside, David Brown rightly took you to task for this
absurd claim "...that /nobody/ lines stdint.h types".

You countered by demanding to know how about unspecified
"figures" (which none of us could possibly know, since you did
not even bother to define what you were referring to), then you
pivoted to saying, essentially, that that was merely hyperbole,
and that you were just saying that _most_ programmers don't like
them, ok, that some programmers don't like that.

a) Taken devoid of all the previous context, I can see how you
might be upset that Scott didn't further qualify this,
particularly as you are regularly challenged to be more precise.
In context, however, it's clear he was challenging your
assertion that it is a widespread practice.

b) Note that he said, "post standardization."  You have provided
no data about any of the projects you cited and when they
adopted whatever their alternative type names are, or whether or
not they target platforms and/or compilers that are not
standards conforming.  For all we know, that was done
pre-standardization of those names, or an important platform is
something that doesn't support `<stdint.h>` for some obscure
reason.

c) None of this has anything to do with the original point, was
was (again) that you made an inherently subjective statement
based on your personal preference, and you stated it as a fact.

It is quite common to see "home-made" sized types in libraries or other 
code blocks from before C99.  Typically you'll see lists like :

	typedef short int int16;
	typedef long int int32;
	typedef __int64 int64;

or perhaps with type names prefixed by a library indicator of some sort.

And it is not uncommon for such libraries to later be made more portable 
for more platforms, and then updated to take advantage of some C99 
features.  But no one wants to go through the existing code, changing 
every "int16" to "int16_t" and so on.  Thus the type definitions become

	typedef int16_t int16;
	typedef int32_t int32;
	typedef int64_t int64;

and all the other code works as before.

There's no suggestion there that the author likes or dislikes the 
<stdint.h> names - merely that the code started off before these names 
were in common use.

(I haven't a clue whether this applies to the example Bart dug up, but 
it certainly applies in some similar cases.)

Even that does not give us another sample point - Bart's claim was not

I wouldn't say I avoid it;  I just rarely encounter circumstances
where it seems called for.  In almost all cases where uint8_t
might be used, unsigned char works just as well.

Why "almost"? Where is the difference if any?

As far as I know, ISO guarantees that
sizeof(unsigned char) is always 1 byte.

And operations on unsigned char are well defined,
including wrap-around. So I fail to see any
difference between unsigned char and uint8_t.

If uint8_t exists, CHAR_BIT must be 8, and unsigned char must therefore
meet the requirements to be the type that uint8_t is a typedef for.
However, the standard doesn't mandate it. If, for example, a machine
supported two different 8-bit types, with the order of the bits from low
to high reversed between them, uint8_t could be one of those types, and
unsigned char could be the other - the C standard imposes no
requirements that would be broken by that choice.
This is not something you're likely to ever see, just a possibility
allowed by the standard that we're extremely unlikely to see.

I see, thanks. So from a practical point of view today, they

The possibility of differing representations had no bearing on my
comment.  In most cases two types[*] whose representations happen
to be different can be used interchangeably.  ([*] of the same
width and signedness, of course.)

The key point is that unsigned char and uint8_t can be distinct
types even when they have the same representation.  Where this
matters is when a pointer is needed to one type or the other.  If
for example there is a function with a parameter whose type is
unsigned char *, it doesn't do to take the address of a uint8_t to
supply as the argument, and vice versa.  It's easy to imagine that
an implementation could choose to make uint8_t be a type distinct
from unsigned char, in the interest of type safety.  Thus one case
where I would choose uint8_t is where there is an externally defined
library function with a uint8_t * parameter.  I don't remember ever
seeing that, but if it came up that would be a reason to use uint8_t
rather than unsigned char.

You are right from the practical viewpoint.  Tim is correct that there 
is no guarantee in the standards to say that "unsigned char" and 
"uint8_t" are the same type - but there are no (AFAIK) implementations 
in which they are different.  The C standards allow an implementation to 
have "extended integer types", and uint8_t could be one of these, but I 
have never heard of the existence of a compiler that has them.

To me, the biggest difference is the names.  "uint8_t" says "this is an 
8-bit unsigned integer" - a small number.  "unsigned char" says 
"standard C type for a raw byte of memory".  So if I am using the type 
to represent a number, I will always use "uint8_t".  If it is for raw 
memory access, I might use "unsigned char" which is standard practice in 
general C programming, but "uint8_t" is also very common for the purpose 
in my field.

I am happy to code on the assumption that they are always the same type 
(except, obviously, on platforms where uint8_t does not exist - 
something I have not had the displeasure of using for a couple of 
decades, but which always looms in the shadows when a customer wants a 
card that runs at high temperatures).  But if I am, say, writing a code 
snippet for c.l.c., I'll use a slightly different style from my 
professional coding and would be sure to use "unsigned char" for raw 
memory access and not mix it with uint8_t.

(Actually, the whole idea that a character - a letter, digit or other 
such symbol - can be "signed" or "unsigned" makes no sense.  But the 
names are what they are.)

If machine has bytes bigger than 8 bit, then uint8_t will not
exit, so trying to use uint8_t will fail at compile time, which
may be good thing, if code depends on size being exactly 8
bits.

He referred to "cases where uint8_t might be used". Such machines don't
allow such usage, so his statement doesn't cover them.

On at least one system with a working C compiler,
a byte is 9 bits, not 8.  If I wanted an 8-bit datum
on that system, I'd have to use uint8_t.

(Now, I haven't used that system in decades, but it
still exists and powers a large fraction of the
worlds airline reservation and operational functions).

Indeed.  Although from my perspective, the use of the
stdint types clearly documents the programmers
intent,  whereas a typedef such as BYTE or WORD
is inherently ambiguous and would require a programmer
to look up the definition of such types in the
application to determine the original programmers intent.

If a byte is 9 bits (ie, if CHAR_BIT == 9) there cannot
be a uint8_t type.  The fixed-width types are not allowed
to have padding bits.

BYTE and WORD are poor choices for type names, no doubt
about that.  On the other hand, in many or most cases
so are [u]intNN_t;  they simultaneously convey both too
little and too much information.  There is a certain kind
of programming where the fixed-width types are genuinely
helpful;  unfortunately though they are used a lot more
widely than circumstances where they are helpful.

That was a 36-bit system. It could easly create a
uint8_t value from 1/9th of two 72-bit words;
so no padding bits required.

The programming I do
(mainly kernel programming, SoC simulation,
firmware) all naturally require the fixed-width types.

For other apps, int, long, float, double are preferred
to INT, LONG, FLOAT, DOUBLE (which seems to be the
way windows programmers code)[*]

[*] which probably dates back to 16-bit windows
and their methods of maintaining backward compatability
across two subsequent (32, 64) x86 processor architectures
plus MIPS et alia.

I think the issue is the standard's section on, "representation
of types" (sec 6.2.6.1 para 4 in `n3220`), which requires that
anything that's not a `char` type (`(signed|unsigned)? char`)
must be a multiple represented by a multiple `CHAR_BIT` bits.
So if `CHAR_BIT` is 9, then since the exact-width types do not
permit padding bits (sec 7.22, para 1), then `uint8_t` cannot
be defined on such a system since there is no (integer) multiple
of 9 that gives 8.

Granted, that section does not explicitly say that it needs to
be an *integer* multiple of `CHAR_BIT`, but it implies it, and
section 5.2.5.3.2 says that `CHAR_BIT` is the, "number of bits
for smallest object that is not a bit-field (byte)".

So it is not clear to me that the definition of `byte` in the C
standard comports with that of some 36-bit machines, where bytes
can be of variable width; that would have to be some kind of
non-standard extension.

Same.  "But Doctor, I am Pagliacci!"

It is not worth trying to write the hardware dependent parts of
a kernel in _strictly conforming_ ISO C.

At a minimum, one usually relies on careful use of an ABI for
the target platform because the exact semantics around structure
layout and calling conventions are essential.  And, of course,
when dealing with hardware, where the characteristics of device
registers and so forth are generally fixed.

But being gratuitously different from the standard is not useful
either.  The exact-width types as a standards-guaranteed way to
get a value of a specified width is a real boon.

Exactly.  (We can confidently infer that it must be an integer
multiple because it refers to "the size of an object of that type,
in bytes", and the sizeof operator yields an integer value, and
because it wouldn't make sense otherwise.)

It's crystal clear that a C "byte' has a fixed width, and that it's
inconsistent with any kind of variable-width "byte".
You might have, say, a 36-bit machine that can work with 6-bit,
9-bit, or 12-bit "bytes", but a conforming C implementation must
chose a constant value for CHAR_BIT (and it can't be 6).

A C-like implementation that has CHAR_BIT==6 or that supports
variable-width bytes might be useful, but it wouldn't be conforming.

I'm not sure that's actually true, but am willing to accept it
at face value.

But I take exception with the assertion that it is "crystal
clear".  It is a conclusion that is inferered, not explicit,
though it is likely the only possible conclusion one can arrive
at considering the full set of constraints imposed by the
standard as a whole.

One can imagine a system where "bytes" are variable length, but
tagged with their size, addressible, where the minimal width is
7, and `CHAR_BIT` is defined as the maximal allowable byte size,
and `m x CHAR_BIT` permits `m` to be rational.  With sufficient
controtions, one _may_ be able to force this round peg of a
non-existent machine into the square hole of standards
conformance, though I **strongly** suspect there is some other
requirement that invalidates the idea (as it rightly should).

Such a machine does not exist.  And since thinking about it is
not useful other than as an academic thought exercise, I cannot
motivate myself to go find the disconfirming passages in the
standard.  I shall simply trust that the exist, or that in any
event it does not matter, and lose no sleep over the matter.

Or 7 bits.  Or mixed within a word.  36-bit machines got pretty
funky.

(nb, because 6 bits is insufficient to represent the characters
in the "basic character set", which has 94 characters in it [as
of N3220], and sec 3.7 defines a byte as an, "addressable unit
of data storage large enough to hold any member of the basic
character set of the execution environment").

Curiously, that section does not require it to be fixed; it
arguably should.

>A C-like implementation that has CHAR_BIT==6 or that supports

More fundamentally for conformance for word-oriented 36-bit
machines, bytes are not usually (ever?) directly addressed.
Rather, the containing word is the addressable unit, and a byte
accessed from within the word via special instructions or some
sort of descriptor.
