  Hi Michael,

I started with <stdint.h> types.
I joined them by groups:
intN_t instead of having an entry for each int8_t, int16_t, ...
I think that way I could better explain the types, common things,
differences, and exceptions.

I'll wait until you review them to write about the remaining <stdint.h>
types: [u]int_leastN_t, [u]int_fastN_t, and [u]intptr_t.

Thanks,

Alex

Good. I wanted those the other day :-), but then I saw they weren't in
the page yet!

Yes, I think that's a good approach.

Although the patch at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/20200928151646.20271-1-colomar.6.4.3@gmail.com/
doesn't apply (can you send me a revision please), and even though
these patches employ the "Include/Alternatively" form, I've applied
them. (Everything is now pushed.)

Thanks,

Michael

They were complicated, so I left them for when the page was a bit more
mature :-)

I had the following commit history.

I'll rebase again anyway and check what is pending, etc,
and fix anything that broke.
